Songwriting Stills and Nash

I made a fine discovery in my little town this morning on my bike ride. We now have a Music Conservancy Hall! It is in an old church from the 1800’s and when I first moved here, this poor old church was abandoned and in incredible disrepair. Now look at it! Mazomanie’s Music Conservancy Hall!

(Think of the acoustics in there! Every singer’s all about me moments amplified beyond imagination. I’m kidding, Well, not really.)

So to continue the ridiculousness of showing you my musical progress through “visuals”, here is what I was talking about in my last post as far as my rewrites go as I lay down scratch vocals to these newest of the new.

Right now as I type and look at these images I am fighting the incredible urge to retype them in readying them for when I do my “real” vocals. It is very OCD, I realize, and scribbling out words is one of mine. Nails on a chalkboard to me.

Yesterday I laid down scratch vocals to these newbies entitled “Your Loss” and “Meant To”. What’s funny is that there was an army of lawnmowers, a roofer gun next door, and multiple school buses dropping off their cargo while I was trying to sing into a microphone that will pick up anything. Guess I’ll wait till the cover of darkness to record anything I may consider “final”.

PS: Yes, I am STILL working on my animation in-between other duties, creative and otherwise. It really is exciting and frustrating all at the same time when you want to cover a lot of ground all at once. But Im determined. As ADD as I may appear, I am determined.

In absence of the animation, enjoy some images of my front yard tulips. They put on quite a show this year! The deep dark purple almost black ones are my most favorite of the tulip world and are appropriately named “Queen of Night”.
