teeny tiny baby steps at first




      TUESDAY 4/16/19 3:30PM--actually spent about an hour in the BR1180 Lab...I didn't get a whole lot done, but I got a little bit of something done...I don't think I'm smart enuff to figure out the unit's rhythm machine; but I wanna be...
              WEDNESDAY 4/17/19 3:48 PM--just spent another hour or so in the Lab, taking slightly bigger steps...I laid down a (even by MY standards) primitive drum track, keyboard track and Bass guitar track to the instrumental I came up with...nothing fancy, next to no processing, just laid 'em down...it only lasts a couple of minutes...after a certain amount of rehearsal (a few weeks worth) I hope to go all the way thru it...
   7:41PM--I kinda wanna go to the Grateful Dead Jam at El Golfo tomorrow night...If I don't I'll wish I had...it goes until 10...I could be at the OTWC before 11...or, if there's gonna be a lot of sittin' around, I'll split before Ten o'clock... I won’t know if it’s gonna be a waste of my time until I go  check it out… If I like it, then I’ll be back; if I don’t like it I won’t be back;  it’s as simple as that… I’m sure I will be going over the pros and cons in my head from now until dinner time tomorrow… If I’m going to go to El Golfo, I’m going to leave the house at 5:30... I think what I’ll do is send an email to one of my ACME bandmates who tends to go to the Jam regularly... I need to know if the Jam  itself is held every week, or once a month or every other week or whenever...
10:37PM- I’ve been told that the next Grateful Dead Jam will be sometime in June… I don’t wanna wait that long to find out if I would enjoy myself, so I’m planning to go tomorrow  night...
THURSDAY 4/18/19 6:30AM--on the other hand, the "Grateful Jam" is not my comfort zone; but that actually may be a reason to go...I need a sign from, well, somewhere...of course, knowing there is supposed to be one in June (on a Sunday) may be a reason to go to OTWC instead...unless that's just a convenient cop-out...sheesh...wherever I'm gonna go, I'm gonna warm up first, guitar-wise...
