Writin' like a madman (redux)

Wow, "autocomplete" remembered I wrote a blog entry with this same title last year...hopefully my songs will be more original :-). Off to a great start - got six written so far (5 yesterday, 1 this AM), and hope to get at least two more done after work tonight. I'd be a happy camper if they were all written by end-of-Wednesday.

I tend to write the whole project quickly and up-front, and then spend a day or two of "getting to know you" with the tunes before recording: I'll try them in different tempos, different keys, different styles; also will fine-tune some lyrics and whatever else can use help. If current pace holds, I should be able to start recording (drum programming, actually) Friday or Saturday at the latest - a good weekend for it as I'll be hangin' around town in anticipation of Sunday's SuperBowl anyway (go Colts - if they win I get 1st place in the work pool!)

Rock on!
