Good morning! Just eight minutes shy of 9 o'clock on yet another undecided day. Overcast morning, sunny afternoon. That's been our pattern for awhile now. Working on that first cup of coffee. Something kinda soul-satisfying in that first cup of the morning. Much like that first beer after a tough Monday in my working days. But unlike cerveza, I limit my coffee drinking to one pot. About three cups and change.
Music news. Yesterday was a very productive day. In these retired years, Wednesday is my Monday. The get-things-done day is now in the middle of the week. It's my first exercise day, the other being Saturday. And after the fatigue wears off, I often end up with more energy.
Lots of remixing in the recording part of the room Seven new ones.One piece sounds like the soundtrack to City of Angels, where the Angels are flying over downtown LA. Another sounds like an old Chick Corea tune, from his electric ensemble with Frank Gambale(total badass).. I'm reasonably sure that's all the "derivative" material. Everything else sounds like me- whatever that means...
All this new stuff will soon be available on the Music page of my site. Last night was a little bit like bringing babies home from the Hospital- they didn't have names yet. Now that everything has at least a working title, I can share.
I feel like I've gotten a lot of the crazy out of my system with this last batch. It'll build up again I'm sure, what with all the upheaval in our country. and then I'll have more weirdness to exorcise. For now, I seem to be 'normalizing'.. A couple of these new pieces- the ones I mentioned- are mellower. And I'm getting back on the guitar. Even taped a few things yesterday. Haven't listened to them yet, but if they work, I'll share.
So that's what I'm up to these days. Thanks as ever for stopping in and reading. Happy almost-Friday to you! Until next time, I'm outa here. More later.
