A Slow Build

            I was in the studio yesterday and we recorded drums to two tracks as mentioned. It was a good session. The drum tracks are nailed down for I’ve Come Upon Hard Times. Things Have Gone and Changed is a different story. We laid down some interesting tracks and the sound was amazing, I’m just wondering if we have a Frankenstein on our hands. I didn’t have a clear directive on that song as far as the drums go, and I let things happen as they happen. The boys took it to the edge and I’m wondering if, or how to use what we recorded. I might not use most of it. It’s too busy. Tim the engineer and producer seemed happy with it. I’m thinking a slow build, a real slow build, and then BAMMM!!  

Hit a Lull

I tweaked my back. I was carrying my bass down the path to my studio and strained it. It will happen from time to time. I found the best remedy is heat. I’ve been laying on a heating pad for a couple of days now.

I’m going into the studio tomorrow to record drum tracks to I’ve Come Upon Hard Times, and Things Have Gone and Changed. It should be fun. You never know how it’s going to turn out. I’m hoping for the best.

            I’ve hit a lull in recent days. I found out a lady friend of mine was using methamphetamine behind my back. That was a shocker. You think you know someone, but you don’t. I thought she was emotionally messed up, and  on her way to Tourette Syndrome, sometimes it’s the obvious that goes unnoticed.  Live and learn. She’s still my friend.   

The Devil Man

            I played my third gig in Venice. It’s getting easier. I don’t have to think as much when I’m playing. I had some fun for the first time. The gender war has subsided and everything is peaceful between singers and band.

            I looked outside the window during a song and I saw the devil dancing on the boardwalk. I can’t make this stuff up. The devil was dressed in red and he was dancing. I thought to myself while playing the bass, I’m making the devil dance. It felt good to make the devil dance. The devils costume was amazing, bright red and black with a perfect devil face. Later in the set I saw the devil carrying a cross. The cross had scripture written on it. I couldn’t make out the scripture. I hope to see the devil again. I’d like to get a better look at him.
