Forgot to Post About That Nightmare, Here Goes…
| Well it’s nothing too big I guess, just scary for myself. Anyways, this is what happened. I went to go take out my Taylor (you know, the guitar I totally love), and took it out to play. I start playing it, and I notice some string-buzzing. (Ok, I just realized this may turn somewhat Guitar Techie, so if you don’t understand it, forgive me). So I check the frets and the neck, and I notice that the neck is kinda warped. There was a little (well not so little, it was about 3mm high) ripple in one section that ran diagnally across the neck. So I feel across that and it has the texture sorta like Athelete’s tape, ya know, that same kinda squishy-ness. So as I wonder what that’s all about, the tape comes off, and there’s like a SLICE through my guitar. Strangely it wasn’t just like a crack, but it was more like a clean cut through the neck. Angled just a little bit. At that point I was hysterical. And then it ended. Weird eh? Ok, Ok, I had another dream last night as well, but I only remember one part of it, lol, and it may seem really weird. I’m an avid fan of Christian Musician Duo, Shane and Shane (www.shanebarnard.com for info). They’re an acoustic duo who lead worship over at Texas A&M’s Breakaway every week, and just all out rock with they’re awesome guitar playing and vocals. Anyways, on a hangout board of fans and stuff (www.stripey.net/shane/), they posted just a few days ago about a picture of Shane Everett and his fiancee being posted really big (a page big picture) in this week’s copy of US Weekly. So, in my dream, the only part I really remember, I was flipping through the magazine and finally turned up on this picture. Although, it was just a small picture (about 5″x5″) and it was in black and white, and it didn’t have his finacee in it….So yes, weird eh? I haven’t seen the picture yet, and I have no idea what his fiancee looks like, so I guess it would be really strange if I did see what the actually picture looks like. Ok, enough weirdness and random stuff…..Later! current mood: weird |
Ugly Pimple on my Nose, and Ray’s in the Bathroom
| Doh, I have work in roughly 30 minutes, and have an ugly big pimple on my nose, and Ray’s in the bathroom, so I can’t brush my teeth or use my Oil-Free Face Wash. =P *sigh*

Two More Songs Done!
| Well I finished up two songs tonight. Well…then again, “finished” is a term used lightly. As the bass, electric, drums, etc, parts aren’t done on it yet (as well as the vocals too, doh). The two songs I did tonight were “We Are Hungry” and “Pour Out My Heart.”
Now the neat thing about these two songs are this, I decided to extend them a lil, by doing something for each song. For “We Are Hungry” I had a whole section in the middle for kinda whatever I wanted to sing. May it be for the Chorus1, a few times more, or the Chorus2 (We lift our holy hands up, we want to see You). Then as I was re-listening to it, and tweaking the end, I found that it was the same chords as “Make a Joyful Noise/I Will Not Be Silent” by David Crowder, and I decided to put that in there towards the end, then end with Chorus2. So yes, to make a long story short, I through in the Chorus of “Make a Joyful Noise” into it, for fun, and cuz it fits just really well. Now for the other song, I noticed it was in a 6/8 beat/measure. Meaning that there’s 6 beats per measure. It’s kind of a swaying thing going on. Anyways, the song has a part that goes “In the safety of this place” with the chords being Am7, G, C. Well it’s the same chords of the one part in “All Who Are Thirsty” where it goes “As deep cries out to deep”, so I kept going on the “In the safety of this place” a gazillion (yes a gazillion..try to figure out how many that is! hah!) times, and then started singing “As deep cries out to deep, as deep cries out to deep, as deep cries out to deep, we sing Come Lord Jesus, Come” ala the chorus of “All Who Are Thirsty”. I played through the rest of that song as well, but I’m not sure if I’ll keep all of that, may just leave part of it (the part of the first time through the chorus). Yes, so those are my recording woes. It probably took about…an hour and a half (1:30 minutes) to finish all that, as well as work on some editing and double guitar parts on some tracks. But it sounds good…though the beat went off a lil on “Pour Out My Heart/All Who Are Thirsty”. Well until next time, this is Randy, signing off… current mood: accomplished |
