Halfway through day four with the Wheat Pool. Working on less fleshed out songs today. I always enjoy this part of the process. Sometimes the best songs come out of these kind of sessions. Two of Mike’s ideas are under the microscope today: “Italy” and “Selfish Guns”. Very rewarding.
Just added the new WordPress App for iPhone. Maybe this could work…
In the studio with The Wheat Pool this week. Very hard at work as you can see.
Has it come to this?
Captain Tractor performed two shows this past weekend in Lethbridge and Calgary. The shows were great, but I was sick as a dog. We played a small club in Lethbridge on Friday called “The Slice Bar and Grill”. It was a small sweaty place, that reminded me of the places we always seemed to find ourselves in in the 90s. In Calgary the scene was somewhat different as the venue was none other than the Deerfoot Casino. A fine crowd assembled, theatre style, on soft seats in orderly rows. After a few songs the folks got up and danced and it felt like a Tractor show.
I finished the first song in the show yesterday. “Write A Book” is a song for the authors to sing. I’m thinking right now it’s got a bit of a Noel Coward vibe…but with a kind of poppy Ben Folds feel. Tonight I worked with Jay Gilday…he tracked the vocals for “The Edge of the World”.
I’m working on a new project which I will be unveiling soon. It has to do with Cole’s Notes. I started a song today called “Write A Book”. I think it might even be kind of funny. Hope so.
This is a current picture. (I need to shave.)
I have just updated my website and realized it is incredibly boring and static. I guess it needs to be. The information there, needs to be there, and will be added to but will never really change. I’m hoping that this blog will contain the events that happen day to day.
I’ll figure it out soon.
I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.It covers:
- The best blogging techniques.
- How to get traffic to your blog.
- How to turn your blog into money.
I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.
