I over slept by quite a bit this morning, but I still managed to sneak out for some singing in the car. I had two songs ready to go, both from May. I was thinking of writing the melody and lyrics for a June song while on mic, the way I always used to do it back in the old days, but when the time came I just decided to go home.
Here’s the view from my “mobile studio” today. Same as yesterday. Literally. I was in the same parking spot.
Also, a couple of random pics from the drive home.
Check out the shocked, bug eyed expression on Robin Sparkles over there!
I only had a little bit of time to play guitar today, and my hands felt pretty dead. Not sure what’s up with that, but it’s probably just down to me playing more than I’ve been accustomed to and I am WAY out of playing shape. Just a couple of tired hands is all. I put rhythm guitars on one song. Now I just need to write some more lyrics and do another car vocals tomorrow morning. Sounds like a plan-ish.
I didn’t go direct today. I played through my Deluxe Reverb and it was happiness.
I’m having a weird stomach kinda day. Not really a gastric bypass is a bitch kind of stomach, more like a bad stomach day a normal person might have. It’s weird. I almost forgot what it felt like.
Miss Robin and I are just hanging out and watching Rogue One. She’s my furry little buddy.
I still need to get my exercise in today, and I have a lot of music left to do. I’ll get to it, folks. Don’t you worry.
Car music was sort of successful. I put vocals on three songs. All of them are June songs. I’m prioritizing June songs over May songs because reasons, or something. I probably could have done a forth song but my voice got tired quickly, my water bottle was almost empty, and my bladder was beginning to ask for attention.
My goal today is to clean the kitchen, catch that friggin’ mouse, record some more guitars, write some more lyrics, and get myself ready for more car music tomorrow.
Here’s my studio view:
That laptop on the lap thing there? I couldn’t do that before the gastric bypass surgery. Crazy new world, eh?
Lily and Robin take a load off after a hard day’s mouse hunting.
I would love to go to the ocean to take some photos this weekend but the forecast is crappy, and it looks like it will remain crappy for all of eternity.
Last night I said I wanted to put guitars on a couple of songs today. I did it. Last night I also added a new song idea. That’s one of the songs I played guitar on this morning and boy was it sloppy and bad. Today is going to go down in history as one of the sloppiest playing days I’ve ever suffered through. I don’t care. I also added a new riff idea this morning. We’ll see if it becomes a song. I hope so.
Next on the agenda is writing lyrics and melodies. I have five songs that are ready for them. Let’s see how many I can get to today.
I played my SG yesterday and I didn’t put it away. As I was working out the new song structure last night I did it with the Les Paul in mind. Today, with the SG sitting on the stand I decided to start with a different song and use the SG as a warm up. When that song was done I swapped them. You’d think that playing something else first would have warmed me up for the new song. Nope. I sucked equally on both of them.
Man, was she ever pissed when I made her move off of my chair.
I managed to get some playing in today. I put rhythm guitars on two songs. One from June and one from May.
Progress, babie!
