This looks like it would be a little fun! Now this is my type of room! Now that the new year is already about a week old, I feel the need to get rolling on some recording and writing more songs. Of course, my recordings at home are basically going to be for fun and honing the skills that i acquire at guitar lessons. Right now, i have no clue what kind of sounds i can get out of my equipment. I haven't really tested it yet. I did play a verse's worth of a song on my acoustic/electric, and it sounded nice....but i know it can sound better. So, alot of experimenting will need to be done. My goal is to create a song(s) that has me playing most or all instruments,(including keyboards, a touch of percussion and whatever else i can find laying around the house!). Heck, i do have a kazoo---lol!....and i need a drum machine. That will be my next toy i think i'll buy! I have my own drumset but it'll be tough to get the sound right on the equipment i have. Of course, i'll need Bud, my teacher, to critique and give me ideas for improvement, etc. Then hopefully, that'll be the groundwork to do a more advanced recording later. I want to get a few rough drafts down on cd, so i can add to them, experiment with other sounds, etc. Then i could e-mail a few of them out and get some of my dear friends'  honest opinions. Every little bit helps!

I actually almost wrote a whole song at work today. That's the first time in a long while that I had words flying at me like crazy....i tried to put my pen and paper down in between what i was doing, but it was to no avail. I was writing a new line down almost every 30 seconds. I need one more line for the end of my chorus and a last verse. I already have the music memorized! So maybe i'll get that done tonight or tomorrow after lessons. I'm really excited to see what i can do with the equipment, even though i'm lacking more "toys"! Just when you think you got all that you need, you realize you need more--lol! And i'm looking forward to asking a couple of people to play or sing on some of my stuff if they have time. We'll see!!! Hope everyone had a safe New Years and now it's time to make a whole lotta music!!!!
