I have been giving these guys a bit of a workout this evening.

Tomorrow I will go to Jefferson Carpenter’s Alfresco Place Recording studio in Louisville and put them to good use.  I am practicing two new songs that I am laying down solo tomorrow.

The worst report I can give is that of a guitar player who has not been playing the guitar enough.  I don’t have the sturdy calluses on the ends of my fingers that I once head.  A player who plays everyday can’t feel the ends of his fingers.  Ironically, that is a very good feeling if you love to play.

I have enjoyed the strap being over the neck and am having fun with it.  What finds its way out never ceases to amaze me.  In thirty minutes time I can go from having nothing to suddenly having something I can carry with me the rest of my life and enjoy.  That is special and don’t think I don’t know it.  But I am like anyone else who does this in earnest, I am looking for the next sound and the next line and the next song.  I know it’s out there somewhere.

Speaking the music rights.
