I think the title about sums up how things are going....
Don't you wish that were a computer nerd at least once in a while? Why will this cursed website building tool do anything except what I want! I suppose this is why you get a professional. It is time to put away my pedal steel guitar and read a book or 2 or 3. I just want to make something nice for you kids, but no! It has to take 2 hours to load a picture, add a song, then make it all fit in an I frame, write a little caption.... as my night was slowly passing by, I began to wonder if anyone actually looked at the web site, save for me of course. I need it to link back to this blog so I can rant and rave about things that you, the reader, could probably never care about if I paid you to read it and care. I'm not bitter, and I'm not giving up my dream of finding where the E is on the pedal steel!
Anyway, today I tried something that I haven't done in a long time. I tried to write a song starting with the words, no melody or chords, just words.... essentially it was a poem, and upon reading it back, I have decided to leave poetry for Dylan. I will stick to finding new ways to complain over the same 3 chords... It's not that I'm lazy. I just prefer to do it with a melody. Even if the melody is good and words flow free and easy as I sing the song over and over, the second I put the guitar down and start writing, it seems that I over think things and try to get too clever for my own good. Plus, I kinda feel like once it's on paper it is so final... I could always change them after but it feels wierd... so I never write them down. I scribble minutes before the vocals go on a recording, so what you get is a pretty good idea of what is going on in that moment. Or maybe I am just lazy, and making excuses.
Also, I think that I am going to start using this blog to talk about news worthy events, in fact I may even steal it for the news page on the website that gives me soo much joy.
Also, I am using this blog as a test to see if the Facebook link will update itself.... the suspense is killing me... of course I'm sure I know the answer.
Lastly, I promised pics from our Hamilton show... here is the link to the slide show.....
