I was in love!

Woke up one morning with this tune in my head, sometimes I wish that I were dead, but sometimes, the hardest part is getting up!

No wait.  That's a 2bit Losers tune. The hardest part is actually singing.  I suck at singing harmonies.  Despite that, today was somewhat productive.  

Jesse came over around 10, brought some Chic-Fila.  I made coffee.  It was nice.  Game plan for this week is to get my harmonies done since Jesse can probably accomplish his at his house without my help whereas I need strong coaching to get them right. 

So this morning we worked on "Intro".  That's the low hanging fruit since I had already written a pretty good harmony for that when we were recording the demos.  The only thing standing in our way, getting me to sing it again with low line noise.  It took longer than I would have wanted but it's done.

Then we wasted some time on Mowin' the Shoulder.  Jesse isn't sure what he wants to do here and even though I hear where harmonies should be, I have no idea what they should be.  It's Jesse's baby though so when he decides what he wants, we'll tackle that.  

We moved to the next low hanging fruit, Two Friends of Mine.  I get to learn the harmonies that Jesse sang on the demo we did 8 years ago when the song was a complete joke... 1 chorus is down and I think a keeper.  The next two Jesse changed the phrasing and therefore the harmony has to change ever so slightly.  We didn't have time to finish that since Jesse had prior engagements with Mr. Easton to do Dark Side of the Lake practice.  My homework, to learn how to sing the last two chorii on Two Friends.

Tomorrow, I go out of town until Thursday but we'll theoretically have about 5 hours to get the final harmonies on Two Friends done (including the falsetto parts) and hopefully I can knock out the chorus vocals for Two Bowls of Porridge.  I actually know those, since we play that live.  Hopefully it will be all creamy goodness.

We shall see.

No pictures for this session.  Rapid fire what not.  Eat more bacon!
