Well, the band is off for 3 weeks or so, so getting back to some focused writing and recording back at the homestead. Almost finished with the first book of Pat Pattison's writing excercises. (You know, the strange examples from previous posts. Should I post more?) lol
Speaking of Pat Patison, signed up for a free online songwriting course he teaches at Berklee College of Music. It's very basic, but will help me keep on task.
(I found it, by the way, while watching live Twitter feeds of up-to-the-second updates from the "Jurupa Fire" that was close to our house. On another #songwriting Twitter stream were all these people tweeting, "I just signed up for a free songwriting class...!")

My favorite guitar is back from a total rehab. It actually sounds better than my Taylor when recording through my particular setup! Awesome work done by expert Taylor lutherie, Timothy Luranc.
