Studio Day Was Amazing! (Patreon)

If you saw my coffee post this morning, you know that today was studio day. My goal was to spend the whole day in the studio practicing songs, editing, creating, or just using my creativity.

It was tough focusing in on it, but I followed through. It was amazing!

I had a little work this morning. I was afraid I’d get thrown off task. Or I’d spend too much time responding to email. But I started focus.

After running and completing the time sensitive stuff, I pulled out my PA and plugged in my pedals.

Gwen said she’d thought I’d do a good job playing “Stand By Me”. So I started practicing that song.

I don’t play many covers. But it’s such a great song and I’m trying to get better. It’s also a good song for looping. It’s the same chord structure in every verse and chorus.

I played it for my coffee show along with a whole bunch of other songs. I looped the music. I played some crappy solos on the guitar. It was a hell of a lot of fun.

After the show, I worked out chords for the new Bards song that I kept screwing up. I practice it and more songs. Before I knew it. It was 1 o’clock.

I put the other half down and did the little bit of work that I wanted to complete which was packing up stickers to be mailed. I finished those just in time for an hour to get home from school.

Then, after her homework and chores, she and I got to jam together.

I was very present. As we were playing, I couldn’t help but be so happy that I had this time a couple days a week to play music with her, teach her guitar, and sing with her.

I also came up with a tentative plan for St. Patrick’s Day. I think the best St. Patrick’s Day/birthday for me is to play music with my girls.

I’m gonna try to find a place in downtown Decatur. We might busk or I might be able to find a venue. But I wanna do a short 30 minute show with my girls.

Putting Inara to bed was just a delight. And now I’m off to put the big one to bed.

I am truly blessed.

Thank you for being a part of it all. Thank you for supporting my music so I can continue to do just what I did today and have such a magical time doing it. Thank you!
