ok.  wow.  november disappeared!  some things happened.  i remember having a birthday and going to oklahoma for thanksgiving.  i’m pretty sure we went on vacation to west texas and did a lot of hiking aroud the davis mountains and enchanted rock but i know there was very little time spent in the studio doing the things that need doing.  creative work is sometimes the victim of trade-offs.  it happens.<\/p>\n

the world has finally cooled off enough temperature-wise to allow me to get out and use my new birthday drillpress.  i’m back to building instruments.  i whipped together a ukulele from a kit that i’ve had lying around for a couple of years and i started a flat backed lute.  <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

i’m going to test my french polish skills on the both of these so that i won’t screw up my guitar that i’m also building in the background.  moving my production for gluing and simple work inside allows me to get stuff done during the week.  i can’t really sand in the house but with the few hours i can sneak off into the garage on the weekend i’ve been making some real progress.  i also get a lot of help from the dude and that makes it double fun.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

my album has been simmering.  i’m listening and re-listening to tracks that i thought were in the can and deciding that they still need work.  better now than after a release, but it is still frustrating.<\/p>\n

i spent some time in the studio working on some music for a theater production up in the great white north.  who knew that covering stevie wonder could be so much fun?  certainly not i!  of course i cut my finger rather badly while cooking tonight and as a result didn’t get things done up as neatly as i would have liked, but this is the way of things.  i got a lot of help from my new production assistant.  he’s really good at finding keyboard shortcuts in applications and discovering midi functionality that i didn’t know existed in logic.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

more frequent posts will be forthcoming.  i’m actually back to doing things again, so let’s see if i can’t make a go of this blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
