Entry #1

Ok this is really not for anyone but myself - so if I get an idea I can jot it down for later reference.

I'm currently working on my very first album - tentatively titled 'faithfully not really trying'. In essence what I'm trying to do is not try -- let a little Zen seep through. Of course there are points when I have to hunker down and actually work, but the idea is to let my mind wander, try new ideas, don't be afraid of a song w/o a middle eight, but go ahead and add one if you think it will help the song. That's the idea here SERVE THE SONG. I'm 44 and I've been writing songs since I was 13 and recording them almost since the beginning sometimes with two tape decks, then later with four track analog, then 16 track digital machines. But, I've never made an album -- something with some continuity - not a concept album, yet still cohesive. More on that later.
