Oh, my land...
It has been a seriously, seriously long time since I did anything musical. It has been very frustrating and depressing. Life has gotten in the way, and my motivation has sagged. I've even considered giving it all up. If it weren't for some really special emails I received from a few listeners, I might just have done it, too.
That, and I just kept listening to the roughs of "Lost and Found". There are some really, really good tunes that will be on this CD. Day after day, I drive to work and back, listening to these new tunes and signing along. The ones I've finished, the ones undone. All of them. They keep calling to me!
One of my big frustrations has been getting together with a drummer that can cut the tracks for me. Steve's kit has been down, Morey's not been available.
But today, Jodi let me buy a drum programming pad! And oh, how sweet it is! I was able to sparkle up the tracks for "Dance with the Devil". Then, I put down a synth pad on it as well. The first tracks I've recorded since Christmas! And here it is, spring already.
And tomorrow's the FCMA workshop. I'd hoped to have this tune ready for that, but at least it'll be done by the end of the month for the April website single! Then, I think I'll do "The Things I Do". A couple of rockers in a row! I won't be able to get John in to do horns until the summer. That'll be OK, tho. I'll get some other things done in the meantime.
