Good Tuesday, have a biscuit!
What an excellently well-behaved Tuesday yesterday was. Quite apart from being sufficiently up together on many necessary tasks to be able to indulge in project work, I then managed to attack multiple projects successfully - craftwork, gardening, and then a recording session in the evening.
We've got the setup and teardown streamlined now, and in appears that around an hour of actual recording is optimal, after which I get too tired to do well, and besides, there's all the aftermath to deal with. So, last night we laid down:
A scratch track of 'Ancient Sky'. Just because.
A scratch track of 'My Gold and Silver', which is a bit of a foundling song but I'd promised a friend.
A scratch track of a parody that I couldn't help writing on the weekend, but I'm not telling you the title as it'll give the game away. Sorry, Suzanne.
A scratch track of 'Time and Tide' which I hope to perform sometime if only for the social experiment element of it... again, a foundling, and so far unheard.
A guitar part for 'Any Kind of Light' so that we can put down vocals for the duet next time.
That was plenty...
My task for teh next week involves recreating, reviving and rearranging three other songs that are far from 'under my fingers', so to speak. Only one's a true foundling, though, ie, one I've never performed anywhere and therefore unheard except by thois esharing living space with me when I've been wrestling with it.
* * *
During 'Time and Tide', which of course S my faithful engineer hadn't heard, he asked me about the dynamic of the song.
"There are some loud bits," I admitted.
"OK, where?"
"Um... in between the quiet bits?"
"Right.... thanks..."
* * *
Alright, so I'm shallow. S pointed me yesterday at a link to a page of Wikipedia that mentions me. Under 'selkie', and in company of many illustrious friends. Of course I was pleased, I jumped up and down like a loon.
Do loons jump?
