Ah, so my goal of writing in this blog is certainly not happening. It is already February…11
Yesterday I turned 53. Still not really feeling old, but the reality is, gravity is more present now than it has been in the past!
I guess this is the time in life when I have to balance my relaxation and friend/family time with my to-do list of projects and stuff I want to get done.
Over the last weekend I spent a LOT of time in my studio fooling around with Logic X Pro and recording all kinds of things. I got some really good tracks down and the beginnings of a lot of songs. Once complete recording of a total jam I did on guitar. I had drums backing me up, and then added bass (and vocal … though I took that out…eeek, I still need to work on vocals!) and it is very cool.
“In a Special Time”
I could probably go with just instrumentals and jazzy things most of the time. Coming up with the song form and any lyrics is not nearly as much fun as finding really cool riffs and bass lines to jam over! Totally fun though.
This is the kind of thing I wish I could do a lot more of…just open ended jamming like that. I need to schedule that in more into my week.
Speaking of which, I need to plan my week right now.
Watching the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea as well….very cool stuff.
