In The Studio

It's been a few weeks since I posted here. It's very difficult trying to write consistently when there is so much else to do. Plus now I'm working on recording a new song (Call On Me) and trying to get it done by the end of the year.

I'm still getting requests for tabs on my YouTube channel. I'm not sending out my tabs anymore, especially since the people asking aren't even subscribing to my channel as I have requested. All the tabs are pretty much here on this blog. And I'm sad to say that I have not received any donations. Sigh. So hard trying to make a buck. Even when you are providing a service. And I could use it now more than ever.

I am happy to declare that this blog has now been viewed more times in the 2 months that it has existed than the very first blog I created nearly 2 years ago. Very nice! Now I wish that would translate to some monetary benefit.

I do have one more tab to put up here. And there is a tab I need to create for one of my videos. That video being "Heart of the Country" by Paul McCartney. That one's been one of my most popular covers. The tab for that song might take a while to make.

The Christmas season always sneaks up so quickly and suddenly. I've been wanting for several years to make a Christmas album of some very simply arranged holiday tunes. The trouble is getting into the mood for Christmas anytime earlier than Thanksgiving. And then by that time it would be impossible to come up with 10 solid recordings by Christmas. So maybe I'll just do one or two a year. Or do the brunt of it after Christmas since it's always hard for me to stop playing Christmas even weeks after the holidays have passed.

I had another idea recently for a project I want to work on. I was thinking about recording an album of some of covers of some of my favorite 60s tunes. Instrumental covers. The first song I would like to do is "Gimme Some Lovin" by the Spencer Davis Group. I think that would be really cool and keep me recording even through times of writer's block. Lots to do, just not enough wonderful time to do it all.

The song I'm currently working on recording still needs bass, drums, an electric guitar solo and some backing vocals. I think I can really get it done as long as I work on it each evening I'm free.
