I'm hoping I can do better



 
          SUNDAY 12/15/19 7:07 PM--somebody (Barnaby?) sent the guys in the FHB a recording of Silent Night that (I think) features him singing all the parts...Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I can equal that...one of my problems is that my desire to take on ANY Project seems to be strongest at the time of day when I'm supposed to start winding down...meaning now...
    In order to get the Project done, I might have to buy a mic cable...I'm gonna poke around in the basement first though, I think there's one down there somewhere...
MONDAY 12/16/19 7 AM--there is snow on the ground...that may put the kibosh on my Plans for today...but I've been going over the arrangement in my head...I'm going for a CSN kinda thing, but who knows how it will ultimately turn out...
   9:15 AM-And now I’ve misplaced the two guitar strings that I bought (even though I only need one) so I can restring my electric 12 string...so now I have to go buy strings all over again…The only day this could possibly be is Monday...
 12:05 PM--it took about an hour but I finally put ONE new "G" string on the electric twelve string...it's a good thing I bought TWO, because I broke one...I bought a set of hex wrenches and I'd like to think by my adjusting the bridge I stopped the buzzing...I hope to work on MY version of Silent Night at least a little after my nap...
 4:34 PM--I'll finish it tomorrow...I don't mean to seem competitive, because Music is an Art form not a sport, but maybe I'm just upset because Barnaby's recording features three part harmony...which I guess will be Barnaby, Brian and Stoney...I think I can add a low part to what they're gonna do...it seems like the only way I'm gonna know for sure is to record a version of ME singing all the parts...it's gonna be a bit more work than I initially thought...
4:51 PM--maybe I'll just wait until the three of them sing it (at rehearsal?) and suggest adding the low part then...or just say "fuck it" altogether...nah, I'm gonna give it one more shot--tomorrow...how much time I'm gonna spend on it nobody knows...
7 PM--I realized I could first work out the individual parts on "piano"...so I haven't given up just yet...and then it occurred to me that maybe I could practice singing with the recording Barnaby made...
 7:45 PM--Barnaby's recording is now part of my iTunes Library...and it's time to chill, so I will... but I am wondering if I’m rehearsing with Liliana and Jeff Jones tomorrow… I’m supposed to, but who knows?
9:30PM--practice with L & JJ is on for tomorrow at 6, so if Barnaby will let me, I'll just add the low part to his arrangement of SILENT NIGHT...so instead of working on that, I'll likely try the electric twelve thru my amp...
