I went back to my guitar this afternoon. I thought my finger tips were hurting this morning. Damn, are they hurting more right now! It’s all good though. Power through the pain today and soon enough the calluses will be back and playing will be pain free once again.
I’ve put guitars onto eight songs today in total. One song got rhythm guitar tracks and the other seven got leads. Good day, me thinks.
Today had one of those moments. One of those sad moments that jump out of nowhere and make you sad.
Tomorrow would have been my parents’ 57th wedding anniversary. Instead it’s the second anniversary since she passed away and that is making me sad today.
I did go and visit her today. That made me feel a little better. It’s funny how that works, right?
Guitars! I didn’t do a singing-in-the-car trip this morning because I’ve run out of songs that are ready for vocal tracks. Instead, I put rhythm guitars onto one song and leads onto four. I have three more songs ready for lead guitars. I wanted to pick those off too but my fingers were starting to hurt and I needed to take a break. If I can get back to them later then I will have run out of songs that are ready for guitar tracks as well as running out of songs ready for voice parts. Looks like it’s time to start writing some new riffs and some new lyrics. Outside of that, I have a big stack of songs ready to mix.
I’m feeling pretty good about the state of this year’s 50 songs in 90 days silliness.
The first attempt at a batch of home made sugar free ice cream is underway!
My wife did this. She is AMAZING!!
Insert the sound of giggling here.
I did some more car music today. I drove to a not-quite-as-empty-as-I-would-have-liked parking lot in town and sat in the car recording vocal tracks. I got through five songs. Every song in the 50 songs in 90 days pipeline that had lyrics but not vocals, now has vocals. Sweet.
Lily is not impressed with me at all.
Robin is so completely unimpressed that she barely acknowledges my existence.
I have finished two new songs tonight. I don’t know if I want to post them here or not. I probably will eventually.
For now though, how about a cat?
It’s almost noon on Friday. The weekend is so close I can feel it sitting just out of reach. So close you can almost touch it.
Music this weekend? Photos this weekend? Who the hell knows, but I can’t wait to find out. I am ready for the weekend, babie! Bring it to me!
They don’t understand that they can’t fit on the top of the cat tree together anymore. They are both all grown up now.
I played some guitar this morning before work. That’s good. The bad part was that I lost track of time and nearly made myself late for work. You have to be better at clock management, Robert. Point noted.
I worked on four 50/90 Challenge songs. Two got rhythm guitar tracks and two got leads. I swapped from my SG Standard to my Les Paul Custom because… I don’t know why. I just wanted to. I’ve used three guitars on the 25 songs so far. The only one I haven’t used is my 50th birthday Les Paul because I have been using that at band practices and it’s upstairs while my music nook is downstairs. I will put the birthday Les Paul to work on 50/90 soon enough.
Pics because… because.
