the february record

A maddening rush of recording. Nothing new I guess, just different this time. I confess, before really even getting started, that this will be short; I have a song to write and record. Needless to say, all is going relatively well I suppose. I have successfully written and recorded three songs in three days. While I’m not terribly pleased with either the songwriting or the production, that is after all, a part of this process. A process of letting go. A process of immediacy. Many lessons lying herein. I can feel it.

Anyway, I carry on. Today it will be song four. I’ve concluded that the learning curve with digital performer {the recording software I’m using} indeed moves upward, but is also a very steep hill. Very steep. I’m beginning to feel a bit embarrassed each time I call Christian. There have been MANY calls to Christian.

Last night though, time was made for a film. On the couch, by the fire. “Nowhere in Africa.” A brilliant film, with some of the more stunning photography I’ve seen in some time. One of those films that lives outside the boundaries of time.

And back to the songs. Again, if you wish to follow along, go to FAWM and seek my name. The songs and words about them are there. I’m thinking that when the dust settles, I’ll post them all on the site here with some artwork for people to download. Yes. The February record. The fast, fast, February record.
