Travel Guitar

I love carting around this a little travel guitar that my mother-in-law gave me. It's a little Yamaha which sounds pretty nice despite its size. I've heard other guitar players tell me that it has some decent tones to it. And then I remember that the strings are about 7 years old...and it still sounds fine. Keeps me practicing when I'm on a trip so I don't get rusty on songs, or I can write songs while traveling.

Lyrics are difficult

It's crazy. It might take 10 minutes to come up with a good chord progression, and another 10 minutes for a good vocal melody. Maybe it would take up to an hour for both. But LYRICS seem to take me a couple of years. I've gotta figure out a new way to come up with lyrics. Inspiration...

Working on newer songs.

My friend Mike and I have been practicing about once per week as of late. We just finished practicing the structure and vocal melody of a song I finished a couple of days ago. I'm not sure what the song should be about. I think the next album will have something to do with the Love of God for us. We're playing with a Drummer we found on Craigslist. Easy to play with, cool guy.  We probably need to hook up sometime next week for a rehearsal.
