After about a week of freezing, we get up to a balmy 22 degrees. Tomorrow is supposed to be even a bit warmer, before we go back into the teens. Today was the day to shovel the driveway, and get most all the snow off of my vehicle before heading out for a food run.
It was also the day to get the hell out of the house. After a week of captivity, I could feel Jack Torrance starting to emerge, just a little nuttiness. This second hibernation will take me until next Monday, at which point I'll be again ready to fly the coop.
Music news. These hibernations are good for guitar practice. I've been working up some old new tunes, like Airegin and Waltz for Debby. And Ladybird.
All these involve a lot more chording than I've been doing lately. This is a good thing, on several fronts. It's good for my soloing to mix it up with some chords(something I often forget to do), rounds things out. Also good to define the form so that people playing with you know where the hell you are. I had a drummer bitch to me about that. He bitched about damn near everything, but at least this once had a valid point. And last but not least, the chords make it more interesting for the listener.
So I've got a fair number of music videos to put on the page. I wish I could upload them here, but YouTube is still alive and swell. Got a whopping 703 subscribers at the moment, maybe someday to get all the way to 1000. As I understand it, that's the point at which you can make money with your page. But then I'm sure there are all kinds of restrictions that go with it.
That's all that's going on in my little corner of the world. Thanks as ever for stopping in and wading through all this Much love to you! More later.
