Feat 52: Week #24
just a couple ideas/patterns i came up with today and strung together. struggled a bunch with the finger picking pattern. a large part of the problem in recording something the night i come up with it is that i don’t really get a chance to clean it up, practice. at all. but i guess the letting go is the whole point of this.
thought of my friend mark while working on this. he makes playing banjo picking patterns at 240bpm look like a walk in the park.

trying to simplify. most the time i feel like my mind is a cluttered mess, teased by the small failings that surround me.

because eventually the glass will be half-empty… sitting on a yazoo coaster next to a boss dr-202.

the temptation exists… to fix things, people — whether they need it or not. and we often do it for ourselves… but i am of the camp that believes life is not tidy. it takes more energy than i have to even begin to counter-act the entropy of daily existence.

late is the new on-time. this is last week’s song…
sympathy for an insect… in the form of a limerick.
i sit here and strum out some chords
for a hornet that dies on the floor
my bathrobe still on
the morning has gone
and soon it shall sting me no more.

wicked late. pisser… this new years resolution is officially kicking my ass.
just got a starter lapsteel this week. unfortunately, it’s a bit harder than it looks. i have a hard enough time singing in tune and now i’ve added an instrument to my collection that requires an ear for pitch. great…
