Wow it's been over a month since I've posted here so, I guess I should do something about that. Things are plugging along with the band. Progress seems to be slower than I thought it would be but it is fun and that is all that matters.
I have written 6 songs and also have 3 instrumentals so that is pretty good, and we have several cover songs, of course.
The topics of my songs are all kind of depressing, I have to admit, though I usually throw a dash of hopefulness in there. The good news is I think I've gotten all the depressing subjects out of my system and now I am ready to write some happy songs. I started a new one that is about a day at the beach. Nice.
I think my overall playing is improving as well as being able to play and sing at the same time. So that is a good feeling. Gotta keep it up.
Ok hopefully I'll write again sooner than a month from now. I still need to record some demos of these songs. I am usually so tired from work and getting the kids settled that by the time I am ready to do some practicing and potential recording, I am just too beat to mess around with the recording part and just want to get in a good practice. One of these days I'll have the energy to record, even if they are crappy recordings with no bass and fake drum loops.. If I ever get some of them done, I may post them here, or I may start a myspace music page and put them there. We will see how it goes.
Fram on.
