Yup, I played some guitar this morning. Bellana went home and we are sad to see her leave so I played guitar to feel better. It didn’t really help, but it was still good to play. Hell, it’s always good to play.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 66/90
I made a little progress yesterday (on day 66). I had one song idea that was just a couple of simple bass riffs. I worked that into a full song form. After that I added two more songs. All three have (fake) bass and (fake) drums finished and are ready for rhythm guitars.

Nothing.
My father’s funeral took everything I had. I don’t know if today (day 65) will be different or more of the same.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 64/90
I put leads on three songs and then went to my father’s wake. The wake has nothing to do with the 50 songs in 90 days challenge, but it does explain why I didn’t get to anything else.
Busy Day Ahead
My father’s wake is tonight. His funeral is tomorrow. It’s going to be a tough couple of days, but we’ll get through it. My step daughter is home. My step son expects to be home later tonight. My wife has been my rock. I love my family. If I hadn’t made it clear 10000 times before, I love my family and I am honored that they have accepted me into their lives the way they have. I couldn’t be happier.
I don’t know what I want to do with my time before the wake starts this afternoon. I think I am going to see about getting a hair cut. I have to iron a couple of shirts even though we don’t have an ironing board anymore. I already played some guitar this morning. I recorded leads for three songs and now I don’t have any songs that are ready for guitars. Gotta get on that and add some new ideas.
I’m sure I’ll add some nervous posts between now and the end of the wake. For now though, enjoy today’s photo a day pic. 5/365 (and also a bonus pic). Guitar, of course.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 63/90
I put both rhythm and lead guitars onto two songs. They both already had vocals so they are now both ready to mix.
That’s a ton more than I expected to get through on day 63. I’ll take it as a win.
More Playing Time
I was able to sneak in my full day’s worth of exercise after work tonight. It was borderline miraculous and my legs are killing me.
I also snuck in more guitar. I put rhythm tracks onto one song and leads onto two.
Bonus. Now I am going to hang out and wait for my step daughter to come home. She’s on her way.
Bonus indeed!
Oh yeah, and I also uploaded those photos I forgot to upload this morning before I left for work. That second one is 4/365 for the photo a day thing. Let’s just call it a complete day and pat ourselves on the back a little.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 62/90
Not much. The bare minimum really. I started one new song idea. Just a couple of simple bass riffs. That’s all. Better than nothing though.
Turn Around
I left the driveway for work at 7:40 or so. I drove until about 8:10 and then something came up at home and I had to turn around and head back. It took less than 10 minutes to get home.
And now you understand how Boston traffic works once Labor Day is over.
At least I took today’s photo a day pic. 3/365.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 61/90
I put vocals onto five songs first thing in the morning. That’s all I got to for the day.
Today (day 62, Tuesday) and tomorrow are work in the office days so there won’t be a ton of time available. The next couple of summary posts are going to be thin. Just saying.
