Buried Treasure
I sent my first song to my mixer about two
weeks ago, but he was on his way out the door for a long
vacation and won't be back until next week. I'm not sure how
long after he returns it will take him before he gets to my
song. In the mean time I have started writing my 12th song and
it is going to be amazing. It came to me like stumbling on a treasure of gold lying right there on the
beach. I was cleaning up my computer
when I found this file that I created three years ago. I
listened to it to see what it was, and I couldn't believe how
beautiful it was. I had recorded some ideas I had, but
apparently at the time was busy with all these other songs and
had no intention of finishing it, just tucking it away for a
future project. The trouble is, I then completely forgot all
about it...for three whole years! Wow, this song should have
been at the top of my list! To get this song to reach it's
potential will require much more work than any of my previous
songs and it might take me months, but don't worry, while you're
waiting I have 11 other songs that I will send to you right
here. |

Update
There are seven musicians in my first song. All the tracks are
finished now except that I want to bring one musician back to
touch up a few spots. At that point I will send my song to a professional who will
do the mixing for me. I have also finished recording my second
song and decided to mix that myself, but the more I learn about
mixing, the more I realize how little I know, and I'm starting
to think that maybe that is not such a good idea. I also need to put a
video together for each song. Since I broke my little toe two
weeks ago I might not be able to perform the videos until I can
stop wearing this hospital boot, which would be another 4 weeks
from now. Sorry about that, but perhaps I will finish recording
a couple of more songs while I am waiting on the toe! Watch here
for updates! |

Finished 11th Song
Three or four months ago I wrote the melody and guitar
accompaniment for my 11th song. I also had a strong concept in
mind for what the song should be about. Lately, however, my
focus has been to finish recording and publishing some of the
songs that I have already written. I knew that if I started
writing lyrics for this song that it might take a week or more
for me to finsih, which would delay the release of all the other
songs. So everyday I played the song through on my guitar
singing "la, la, la" and everyday it seemed such a shame that I
didn't have any words to sing ( often I did try making the
lyrics up as I played along, but that merely served as the
ground work for my composition.) Not having
these lyrics just kept eating at me until finally I proclaimed,
"That's it! I'm doing these lyrics!" Just as I
suspected, it did take me four or five days to write the
lyrics, but now each time I play the song I have an incredible
story to tell! I can't wait to get all of these songs out to
you! |
