How much more can I pack in?
Well, I'm having pretty major separation anxiety. I've had to pack up my studio/music gear and send it to storage. No, I'm not hiding from the repo man. We're selling our house. Actually, we've sold our house, we're just waiting for the appraisal, home inspection, and closing to happen. Sooooo, we're going to be moving soon. We're going to be moving to an apartment temporarily while we look for a house (we sold our house in 36 hours, a little quicker than we expected). Anyway, I'm hoping to get at least a "bare bones" setup going at the apartment so I can get ideas down before I lose them. I can already feel the artistic tension building up inside me. It's probably been about 3 or 4 weeks since I've been without my gear, and I'm itching badly. I didn't really get a lot of time to write/record in the last few months, but when I did manage the time, I was able to get some stuff down pretty quickly. I'd be able to somewhat scratch the itch if I could just edit some of the rough tracks I have down now, but my Tascam US-122 and my monitors are in storage, and to be honest, my computer speakers and soundcard just won't cut it (in fact, I hear clicks and pops when I even try to play a track in Cakewalk). So, I'm trying to just write on guitar, as I used to do in the old days before I'd gotten some more equipment, but it's hard to go back. It's kind of like using dial-up once you've been on DSL, you can do it, but you really know what you're missing.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll make it, and who knows, maybe this creative challenge will be a good thing. Maybe I'll be more focused when I do write/record. Maybe I'll spend a little more time with this blog as I've been saying I will for years. I guess we'll see. Oh, one more thing, if you haven't yet, please feel free (ok feel more than free) to visit my sponsors page . These are people willing to pay me to have their ads on my site. I'm happy to oblige, as any starving artist would. I've got the ads targeted to someone who finds this blog/site interesting, so you should find some stuff you'll like/need. Please feel free to check them out. Hopefully, I'll be talking to you all soon.
