A sort of New Year's resolution
There is something I want to do... or at least try to do... this year. It started in November when a song idea started to percolate in my head. All it was was a feeling, a chorus and a thought. Later, after noticing some old VHS recorders in Goodwill (which I did not buy) a whole concept sort of exploded in my head.
The song is titled "One Track Mind". (No, it's not about sex.) I want to play and record all the instruments: guitar, bass, drums and vocals onto a four track cassette deck and mix down all in analog. I also want to video tape the performances on VHS - edit the video digitally (I'm not crazy) to post on my YouTube channel.
Technically, I think I can do this. If I keep the music simple the instruments I could handle after I relearn them. The vocals - argh, my voice is thin at best. But I want to make the attempt. I may fail but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I want to start playing again anyways - even if my hands hurt.
