I've got maker fever. I've got it bad.
In addition to, (and after) doing the taxes, I have spent much of the week stalking around the house and sketching alternating "oh shit, how will I deal with that?" with "that will work!" and "this will be so great!" Partly this was plans for the rolling box for the octave mandolin and partly it was costume ideas. And an idea for a satchel for my music books. And things I could do to fancy up a pair of boots.
Thursday night I remembered I was recording Friday. That didn't leave much time to practice, but I knew Quetico needed new tracks and I had a vocal harmony I thought Last Spaceship could benefit by, so I did those, and it went pretty well.*
( Mostly Octave Mando Box stuff )*Except that the harmony for Last Spaceship goes really low and by the time I worked on it I was kind of tired, so I wasn't as stable on those low notes as I would like. I record again tomorrow so I will see if I can do a better job. Also I'm going to record a bonus song to be added if I can't get Common Ground to work. The bonus will be a surprise :-)
