A Day Late


            I’m trying to stay focused with the art. It’s not easy. I tend to need periods of rest to gather myself. I’ve been writing tunes at such a clip I can’t remember the words to them. I’ll write a song and then move on to the next one, and forget about the previous song until I have a whole bunch of songs I don’t know the words to.
            My plan is to record a song a week until I have them all on tape, or hard drive. I need to pick up the pace, at the rate I’m going I’ll be old and gray before I have it all recorded.
            When I ask myself if I should die tomorrow would I be content? My answer is no. I’d like to leave behind a finished body of work. All I have right now are a few recorded tunes and some demos that I recorded at home on GarageBand. My writing is in better shape. It’s the music that has fallen behind. Of course I have old tunes from long ago, but those don’t count. It’s the here and now I’m after.
