"In the flesh"

Now that I have installed a new back door, my plan is to move our iMac down into the basement and begin setting up a mini-studio. I have roughly twenty-five songs I have written and would like to start fleshing them out into actual-honest-to-goodness-I-can-really-hear these-and-not-just-in-my-head songs. Even if they are all simply produced with a minimum amount of layering and dubbing and instruments—shit even if it's just my acoustic—I want to get them all down.

Who knows maybe I will investigate publishing them. Or, maybe I can find someone to buy the composition.

Another idea I had was to somehow set up the songs so that one could hear them and hopefully enjoy the song enough to purchase it online. Though, I will have to have Pixie's computer expertise to guide me through that endeavor.

JQ plays and records music. JQ no fancy with com-poo-tor.

All I want is to get them down once and for all (until I tweak them later) and feel like I have accomplished something.

My goal is going to be two songs a month. I want to set the bar a little low so that I can actually achieve my goal.

"Poppa was a rolling stone..."

Happy Fathers day to my Dad. You are a gentle spirit with a huge heart and a serious need of a haircut.

Happy Fathers day to my Father-in-law from the island. You like to hunt animals with a bow and arrow.

Happy Fathers day to my Father-in-law in Illinois. You have an impressive shirt and tie collection.

Simply wishing all of the dads in your life a great fathers day!
