Wow, this is already over halfway into July and my first entry. Oops! I guess I have been too busy lately for updates. If you truly visit this page, you will notice that the front page keeps changing, as well as the other pages. My album is coming along with 9 songs down, 5 to go. I need to work on some of the melodies a little more because I am suspecting myself of borrowing some of my own melodies in parts of other songs. I tried using my keyboard and violin to get a bigger feel for my songs, and my violin worked the best. I really really really want to use my guitar, but frankly, the guitar sucks. It was never good when we first got it, and now my D string broke, and I don't have replacements!! It is bad enough that the guitar rattled some on the lower strings before (along with a buzzing sound) but now I can't even strum on it. I didn't even bother tuning the other strings because it is just a mess. I was looking forward to playing it, and then I open the case and see that the string is most definitely not attached anymore. <sigh> I would think about buying myself another one, but I don't think I would use it enough. Maybe now that I am writing songs I might--I had to satisfy myself with strumming my violin and hearing a guitar in my head to think about how the songs would really sound. Most of the songs, as of now, don't lend themselves to a piano very much, but definitely guitar, and even some with my violin, but I have to figure out how to make it so that I can hear myself and my violin at equal volumes :) The only good part about the guitar is that I didn't buy it--it was a hand-me-down from my cousin. I picked it up really easily, and had fun playing it, but now it looks as though my guitar-playing days are gone. At least I still have Carmen--(editorial note . . . this should be Sophia, but I had a brain explosion when I wrote this. 8/11/02)! You know, maybe that was my problem--I never named the guitar. Well . . . not much else to say . . . as far as other things going on, I am in another mini-battle with myself--actually, several. I just have to figure out which half is smarter. Too many issues, too little time! Oh, so if you haven't checked in a bit, the sum total of updates are as follows: Lyrics, this page (duh), the front page, additional poem(s), a new songs page with new songs, and I think that might be it . . . I can't remember. Alright, talk to ya later. |
