The arrival of day 80 (yesterday) brings on the start of crunch time. I am light years ahead of the pace still, but seeing day 80 still brings on a crashing irrational panic. You know how it is.
I put rhythm guitars onto one song yesterday and lead guitars onto four. I’m hoping day 81 (today) will include some vocal tracking and maybe some more lead guitar. There is a very slim chance that I could wrap up tracking entirely by the end of the day. We’ll see.
Hey there, everyone out there in internets land. How’s your morning going?
Are you having a good morning the way I am? Are both of your kids home for a visit? Did you play a ton of guitar before breakfast?
That’s my morning in a nutshell. Both kids are here, but only for the morning. I also put rhythm guitar tracks onto one song and lead tracks onto four.
It’s a good morning ’round here.
I wrote lyrics and a melody for two songs. Likely they will be the last two songs. I started putting vocals on one of them but I had to stop in the middle. I doubt I’ll be able so salvage any of it.
We’re really through 78 days of this thing? That means today is day 79… which means that counting today there are only 11 days left? Daaaaaaamn.
I had almost zero time to spend on music yesterday (day 78) but I did manage to sneak in a mix as I was falling asleep last night. 44 songs finished. Six to go. We’re 88% complete.
I had a very full, busy day yesterday (day 77) and I am not sure I can remember everything I did. I think this is everything…
I put lyrics and melodies onto two songs, then I added a new song with bass and drums (all MIDI), and then I jumped in the car and drove to an empty parking lot and put vocals onto four songs. A good haul on an extra busy day.
Today’s photo a day pic:
She looks pissed off because I keep stopping her when she tries to eat one of the plants. I’m a jerk like that.
In other news, I put vocals on four songs for the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. I now have 50 songs with vocals… which implies that I will be successful this year. Huzzah, babie.
Here a picture of the clock downtown from my drive home… because.
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!
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.
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.
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.
