Last Wednesday we had a great rehearsal; we\u2019re working up a bunch of new tunes, rearranging bits and getting them ready to perform and record. We\u2019d skipped last week, and we\u2019ll skip this upcoming week too\u2026 so it was important to really get a bunch done in the time we had together. It was great to smooth out some of the rough spots in songs like Egypt Eyes. We\u2019ve dropped the metal style bridge in favor of a more Egyptian, airy, haunting bridge \u2013 the song finally feels right!<\/p>\n
We\u2019re also working on studio overdubs for a bunch of songs \u2013 there\u2019s two or perhaps 3 CDs worth here recorded or partially recorded, and we really need to buckle down and get them done. Meanwhile, Brian came up with some new riffs and new songs are happening, too\u2026 so we\u2019re busy both in the writing energy as well as the recording.<\/p>\n
No shows in the next upcoming weeks, we\u2019re hoping to use this time to get some of this stuff done. And it\u2019s also spring, and all the great springtime emerald valley things are happening \u2013 flowers, gardening, sunshine, spring rain, walking, biking\u2026 I like to take time to be very \u201cpresent\u201d in the moment and not take anything for granted; it\u2019s an ongoing challenge to keep my mind on the activity at hand and not always be thinking of all the stuff that needs doing. But the songs are just running through my mind all the time, new and established tunes\u2026 there\u2019s a music traffic jam in there clamoring for attention.:-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
