Cruise control…

Well, a lot has happened over the last few weeks. My hours at work have been cut back but not by too much. It was quite a concern for a while. The Headcases United track is done for my parts. I’m still waiting for the rest of the guys to get their photos done along with the lyrics and vocals. Then I need to discuss the mixing of the track with Mr Odin. I’m sure he won’t be offended, but I’m really not happy with his preliminary mixing. Mine sounds a lot better. I’ve always had a good ear for tone, be it playing guitar, or when recording. My main problem until now was how to get the tone I want. I’m finally there I think and it can only get better from here. If I can get my head around composition, I might be able to do something really good. God I’d love that. To be able to express myself fully as a musician and song writer. I have lots of clips, noodling and “test” tracks but, as ever, I never finish anything.

I’ve been struggling with sleep lately. Sometimes I start at 7am, sometimes half nine. Regardless, my mind wants to stay up late even if my body is shattered. I work every Sunday now and with the Saturday morning job at the performing arts academy, weekends don’t mean a lot any more. For everyone else it’s Monday but for me it’s Tuesday and I’m off tomorrow. It would be nice to have a regular routine.

Still, it pays well and it has kept our financial butt out of the fire. Mustn’t grumble. We still don’t know how long this job will last. Time to start hunting a permanent position.

I’m on my break as I’m typing this and it’s just started to rain. Great…
