Anyone interested in their own recording projects should check out TapeOp. I stumbled upon it while researching Emitt Rhodes. It seems that, since I was able to score a bit of his stuff in analog form (vinyl & r2r) on eBay, much of the "re-releases" I then saw on Amazon have gone out of print again. I really wanted that Hawthorne album, but I think I'll wait to see if it comes back around again.

Meanwhile, I am working on setting up the recording gear in the living room again. It's high time. Last night, through pure dumb luck I'm sure, I learned to play the song posted below. I do it on the guitar, and capo 4, with a strange little minor 7th walkdown resolution that I thought I heard. Easier to do than to say. If I had to describe all of things I do on the guitar to anyone-- well, I'd just have to show you. It's not like the piano, which is so visible in a linear way; the guitar is on a much more intuitive level for me. I navigate by feel.

It sure is nice to have two days off in a row. And another on Wednesday. I feel my head coming back together slowly but surely. I had a nice long afternoon nap today, even after I got a solid eight hours' sleep last night. Guess I've been more fatigued than I thought. Well, for the next month, it's a straight 40-hour work week for me, no overtime. I'm hoping to finish up [and in some cases get started on!] some summer projects. I'm debating whether or not to release an EP once I've completed and mastered five or six studio songs. People say you use EP's to get gigs, which really doesn't interest me. Others say it's a teaser for an album, but I wonder if it's not just a lazy choice for the impatient? I'd much rather have a full album myself, but that seems so far down the road and people have asked me to release some stuff just to get it out there now. Then you have to change it up a bit, like having two of the songs on the EP not appear on the album, which adds to the length of the project [i.e., sheer number of songs to be completed in the studio]. Hmm, don't know yet. Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
