I worked on four songs today! Woohoo!
I put rhythm parts on two songs and it went okay. Certainly not good, but okay.
I put leads on two songs and oh my god was it awful! Just atrocious! Train wreck-esque. Wow. I might have to redo it all but I’ll probably just live with it.
What fun!
We did something crazy tonight. Well, crazy for us at least.
We went…
…to a grocery store.
We are trying to break our instacart addiction and this was our first baby step.
Here’s hoping we don’t catch Covid. We were masked and all. Wish us luck.
New stuff sticking out of our house.
What does that sign say?
Noted.
Obligatory
What was that? Oh, nothing. Just some three part harmony in the car. That’s all.
The clock from one direction…
The clock from the other direction…
Hope Methuen is having a good Thursday.
There was some talk between a couple of us in the band of trying to get everyone together sometime in June and seeing if we can have a band practice or something. I’m really hoping we can make that happen.
I started figuring out what to use for gear for this hypothetical jam. My new Les Paul is a given. The new pedal board I put together a few weeks ago is a given too. For the amplifier I was going to bring my AC15. There’s a problem with that though.
I’m under doctors orders to not lift anything heavy. I’m maxed at 25 pounds. That continues at the minimum through mid-June. Unfortunately tube amps, even little ones, are freaking heavy. My AC15 weighs about 50 pounds. Okay, so that’s out. I’m now planning on taking my MV50 and my Fender 1×12 cab. That’ll work.
Once we get into July I’ll bring the AC15. I want to bring my Deluxe Reverb home from the rehearsal room so I can use it on home demo goofiness. That amp is even heavier, so it’s going to stay where it is for now. I could use that at the first practice, but I’m afraid something might have happened during the 2+ years it’s been sitting and I don’t want to rely on it.
So NuTubes it is.
My wife is being creative tonight.
