I didn't sleep very well last night. As part of my spirit-lifting attempt Friday evening I bought Diet Mountain Dew as a special treat. I didn't actually have any until yesterday morning but then I had quite a bit, and I think that's the reason I couldn't go to sleep until about three thirty this morning. So if I seem less coherent than usual, that's why.
( Bonus Canoe! )
As regards the album, I am working on a couple of new songs, at least one of which I will probably post pretty soon when the melody settles down. It's just a bit of fluff, but hopefully a nice one. I haven't been practicing as much as I should, though I have gotten in at least some practice every day. I feel like I should be working on my mandolin chops more, but am not sure how to do it. I still haven't come up with a harmony for Go Little Penske (I can feel the chorus, at least, calling for one) or Quetico (ditto) but part of that is I haven't been listening to the iPod as much while working on the boat so I will do that today.
I think pretty soon I'll have to pick a handful of songs (three might be a reasonable number) practice them up until I'm actually ready to record, and record them. Because it would be nice to have some more tangible (if that's the word) progress than a fattening songbook. Though the songbook is definitely fattening up nicely.
