Tracker

It's a labor of love. Finding something good in the solo piano recordings done a couple of weeks ago. It's funny how a beat gets dropped and picked up 2 bars later. That astounds because of the innate nature of a beat/groove keeps on going seemingly unattended, not that I'm always that lucky.

It sounds OK on the headset. I've been listening big time all day trying to sort things out. Some obvious errors will demolish a track. Most of the time I'm finding I have a way too much material for a single CD of 45 minutes. I'm sure I've got a few winners in there. More distillation needed of course but I'm crossing some absolute "no-ways" off the list. Sometimes I'm not sure what I did to make something come out in a certain way but I'm grateful for being able to be open to the flow. This is a lot of fun and I'm feeling quite glad to be in this situation. I highly recommend it.

It's Valentine's tomorrow. G's coming back from Kelowna. I've been having a great time playing and listening and gettin' in to the Veggies sauteed: so delicious. I'm hoping to show G that sauteed garlic cloves don't smell so bad really. I hope she thinks so—I guess I'll have to go out and get a Valentine card for her.
