Late Night Meanderings

Yawwn...

It's past 11pm now, and I'm still defiantly awake. I've finished burning out two CDs for Charlotte (a girl whom Alvin and I hope to induct into the Fuzzy Green Grass as bassist, guitarist and keyboardist amongst many other roles). I managed to fill out 14 songs per CD, one with all of the FGG's recordings which do not sound like crap, and one with all my better-sounding recordings (which went under the knife and emerged much better after my 'Remastering' Process).

Truth to say, I am absolutely dissatisfied with my guitar recordings: they are inconsistent and my voice still doesn't sound as it should. Don't tell me my voice sucks: some people commended my singing voice when Alvin and I played to over fifteen people the previous week.

Anyhow, I have no morning lessosn tomorrow, so I'll devote my time to creating a steel bracket to salvage my old acoustic which has a split neck. I am emotionally attached to this instrument even though the frets are crap and the action is equivalent to that of a lap steel's. I'll also improvise a small tail-piece for my classical, which I extensively modified for my small stint in the guitar club and until I finally got outta there for good. Apparently, the classical sounds good after my re-working, which included a new, low-profile aluminium bridge (after sawing away half of the old bridge's top) and a small, thinner nut. I just hope both work out fine.

I also borrowed two books on harmonica training (which I do need, but don't have the time for) from the Library@Esplanade. It's actually quite ok (the library), and with the addition of magazines to it's retinue, It's quite a dandy place. Ok, I'll try to get some sleep.

Cheers,
