Well, yesterday was fun!

I arrived at the studio just having done a crash course in the song. Being familiar with a song and knowing it, are two different things…I was just familiar so I brushed up on the lyrics beforehand. Of course, I learned way more than I really needed. Basically it was the easiest paycheck of my life…and pretty damn fun! I was only there an hour or so and just had to sing about 2 lines of the song, which is all they needed.

Got a nice email from Chris afterwards saying:

Hey Bob,

It was good seeing you again. Thanks for coming over on such short notice.

I think your track turned out great…I’ll shoot you an MP3 of the mix tomorrow night. Your vocal sound is just what the track (and our client) was looking for. We ended up using your lead vocal, doubled with a touch of a low harmony done by this other guy. Your voices blend really well in this context.

Thanks again

And so…that was nice. Now let’s see if it gets aired. Either way…I had a ton of fun and felt at home being back in the studio again. It made me start to itch for more recordings. I’m going to see about booking some time at this same studio. More on that later…

This actually came at a good time…I have been in a massive funk for some time that’s really seemed to thicken up more lately and cloud the mind. Usually that sort of thing kicks in when I realize how utterly gullible I’ve been over the last 7 months to buy into the "let’s dangle the carrot over the donkey’s head and see if we can get him to jump"…

Chalk it up to just another lesson learned…but I’m so tired of unwanted lessons. My thought for the day is…people with good intentions mean well, but unless they follow through they’re just a distraction.

Either way…I need to move in ANY direction before I become a statue.
