just like starting over

     MONDAY 10/21/19 12:51 PM--I guess I should be practicing something, but I don't quite feel like it...I WANT to start working with the BR-1180 again...I just don't seem to have the energy until mid-day...and suddenly it's Dinnertime, after which it's time to start winding down for the day...and today I have to be ready to drop whatever I'm doing to go get Muzzy from the Vet...I'm OK with that though...
             2:32 PM--I don't wanna go downstairs and work in the 1180 Lab without thinking things through first...I guess I can do that this afternoon/evening...I want to devise a program of "baby steps" leading up to the Main Project, whatever it actually is...I think I'll work on that chord sequence that I've "borrowed" from TIME AFTER TIME...might make track sheets to keep track of what I've done or intend to do...
          6:13 PM--instead of starting from scratch, I decided to keep working on the song I started months ago, that I had completely forgotten about...I wanted to erase everything but the drums, but for whatever reason, I couldn't make that happen...I THINK I can just record OVER the tracks I wanted to erase, like they used to do in ancient times...
    7:08 PM--I might even re-write the song itself--or not... or possibly merge the two chord progressions...in any case, I'll work on it tomorrow...I just dunno when...
 8:08 PM--trying to chill...but, of course, I wanna go downstairs; sheesh...50 MINUTES LATER--went downstairs recorded over a certain track, so THAT concept worked out...now I'm thinking about "punching in" various bits...we'll see...think I'm gonna need a certain footswitch...
     TUESDAY 10/22/19 8:08 AM--I don't often dread playing a gig, but I'm dreading playing on Thursday...unless the Combustibles cancel their proposed appearance at the open mic...I'm considering prayer...I must try TRY not to think about what I'm fairly sure will be the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me...
10:26 AM--spent about an hour an the 1180 Lab...I'm remembering more as I go along...maybe later (or tomorrow?) I'll try to add a guitar or two or three...
     11:21 AM--I just remembered--a woman (ric's girlriend?) showed me how SHE would play the chromatic riff in MAYBE I'M AMAZED...it was the same two-fingered method *I* use...except of course that she was a LOT faster...
 5:02 PM--other than the mixing, I made a ROUGH demo of a new song...I think I used up all eight tracks...what I'd like to do is make a CD of the unmixed version and a CD of the mixed version and hope they sound quite different from each other...
5:55 PM--somewhat unintentionally I EQd the "Bass" track--*I* think it sounds good...I might start all the way over, try to NOT make any mistakes...
