Notes:
5/18/03: Armed with my Taylor, a new set of
strings, and ProTools Free running on a Macintosh
Powerbook, I set out to lay down some very basic
acoustic performances of a few of my tunes. It's
something I've been planning to do for several
years, but couldn't seem to make happen. (OK, try
twenty years.)
This project was not about me thinking that these
are such great songs that I've got to get them out
there for someone to discover. (I'm relatively free
of those delusions — well, at least I am, now, I
think.) They're just my songs; lyrics about a few
things in my life that moved me to the point that I
put the time and energy that it takes to write a
song into writing a song. More than anything else,
I guess I recorded them for posterity; a few people
(mainly my mom, now that I think about it) that
kept asking me for a recording of my stuff. So here
ya' go mom — for you and dad's 50th anniversary.
Final notes: To the musicians and writers that know
a lot more about this than I do: cut me some slack,
I work a straight job and only get to steal time
for music occasionally. The studio is an empty room
in my basement and the production budget was all of
$60 ($10 for the strings and $50 for a software
plug-in that I thought I needed). Thank you: Taylor
Guitars for making the acoustic guitar I fell in
love with; Digidesign for the marketing genius to
give home recording hacks like me a first class
tool like ProTools Free, for free; and to my
Grandma for the little bit of music I have in me
and for leaving me just enough in an inheritance to
get the Taylor 414 that I had on lay-a-way for way
too long.
Criticism or compliments . . . I'm all ears.
