Right then, back on schedule with the previous day’s update happening first thing in the morning.
Yesterday, on day 76. I added lyrics and melodies to one song. Time to get cracking, red head!

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 75/90
This post is supposed to happen first thing in the morning but I didn’t get to it until dinner time. Sorry.
Yesterday, day 75, I added lyrics and melody to one song.
That’s all.
15 days left. Still a lot of work to do but not a long time remaining.
Crap.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 74/90
I did a few things on day 74 (yesterday) Let us recap!
I put rhythm guitars onto two songs. I think it was two songs. It was two songs, wasn’t it?
I put lead guitar onto one song.
I mixed two songs.
I wrote lyrics and a melody for one song.
Not sure what I will have time for today (day 75). I have a bunch of songs that need lyrics and a few that are ready to mix. Nothing is waiting on guitars at the moment though. I should focus on the lyrics and the melodies so that I can do a car music tomorrow morning. I think that’s the plan. I also want to add one more song if I can. I’m at 52 total right now and I want to be at 53 when everything is over.
Song
I mixed two songs tonight. One of them is less than awful. Cool.
Another Screwed Up Morning Routine
I did it again. I messed up my morning routine. Big time. I overslept, then I had a problem that came up and screwed up my morning exercise. I am just off today… again.
I did work on some music though. I put rhythm guitars onto two songs. I used my SG for both of them.
Then I switched to my Les Paul Custom and put leads onto one song.
Musically speaking, what’s next for today? I haven’t a clue. I’ll let you know once I straighten out my brain. Maybe in 25 years or something? Who knows.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 73/90
I worked on one song on day 73. One new thing that managed to get a song form and MIDI bass and drums.
Hoping for more today but not sure how things will go down.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 72/90
Just the one mix that I mentioned late last night. 41 songs down, nine to go. 82% complete. Lots of stuff to do today, including recovering from a terrible nights sleep. Not sure what I will have time for. We’ll see how it goes.
41 Songs Down
I was afraid I was going to get shut out on the ol’ 50/90 challenge today so I snuck in a mix before bed.
Yeah, it sounds terrible at times but I do sort of dig the song. A little at least.
So Close, Yet So Far
Today has been an okay work day for a last day before a vacation kind of day. I still have one hour and 42 minutes to go before said vacation, but I will get there.
I’m starting to sort of chomp at the bit though.
Today has been busy without being stressful. I have had a lot of things to do but none of them have been high pressure or high profile or anything like that. Just a bunch of administrative type things. The customers have been quiet so I have been able to focus on things that need to get done. I am thankful for that.
The Great Pink Floyd Reverse Order Playlist is now back to Animals from 1977. Great record with some absolutely outstanding guitar playing from David Gilmour.
Endless River – Complete
Division Bell – Complete
A Momentary Lapse of Reason – Complete
The Final Cut – Complete
The Wall – Complete
Animals – Currently playing track two, “Dogs”
Wish You Were Here – Up next
Dark Side of the Moon – On double deck but I probably won’t get to it today.
What else should I mention for the benefit of some future version of me looking back at Friday the 13th of September 2024 out of some sense of boredom or a this-day-in-history kinda thing?
The weather at the ocean for the next week looks excellent, according to the long range forecast I just checked. I think a sunrise photo session is a given. I hope to finish off a couple of rolls of film while I’m at it. I still have three rolls from Disney back in May that I have to get developed. I’d really like to spend a day in Boston if I can, but who knows if that will work out.
I am also going to my Dad’s place tomorrow morning to fill up a few boxes with books to donate to the public library in Tewksbury. They are having a donation drive tomorrow and they can have whatever they want from Dad’s book stash. If there is anything they won’t take (why?) I will bring them to Goodwill or something.
Those things, plus some music, plus spending a ton of time hanging out with the love of my life, plus helping the kids out with something next weekend… I think I have my staycation pretty much planned. 86 minutes to go until it starts.
Music Nook
Today’s photo a day pic comes from my iPhone early this morning as it’s a working in the office day for me. I snapped a couple of quickies of my cellar music nook… an area of the house that I hope to make serious use of during my staycation next week.
The Pink Floyd Records in Reverse Release Order playlist that I am celebrating today during work has just officially reached Roger Waters. Welcome to The Final Cut, kids.
Four hours and 33 minutes until vacation.
