Is This The Moment?????

Is this the moment???

Well, it may be! I’m feeling optimistic.

I should be getting my Ovation guitar back from The Guitar Center today.  And from what I understand, it is repaired buttttt there may still be some issues.  They didn’t answer me as to whether it would stay in tune.  Hmmmmm.

That company will use their email, but they tend to ignore the customer.  Get this, I’m told by a company rep that using email is too slow a means of communication.  I’m not getting that.  I prefer email over a phone call any day of the week. And here’s why: ‘documentation’.  On the phone unless I record the phone call (that’s called wiretapping) and I must get the other party’s permission and from my past experience, they won’t talk.  Regardless, a conversation on the phone can be lied about to protect one’s position. An email is a solid documentation of what has gone on.  You should see the documentation trail with Ovation, there’s no misunderstanding there.



This will probably be my only Ovation I’ll ever own….it’s not been a well performing instrument.  A tad disappointed here.

So, this may be the moment.

I love the texture that an acoustic guitar provides to a recording.  And I’ve learned and still learning how to use an instrument (any instrument) in the recording process.  There’s much more than just banging out a rhythm to it.



I’ve always used an electric guitar to do the layering and leads……and yet there’s more for me to experiment with.

It seems that finally the obstacles are being cleared and I have no ‘reason’ to not get back to work on my CD and finish that puppy before heading to Europe.

Lots to do though.

Is This The Moment?????

Oh!  I forgot!  There may be one more issue that hinders my recording….the recording software company sent me an email yesterday (by the way, this company responds most promptly to my emails) that there are some issues running the software with the latest OS upgrade from Apple.  We’ll see.  They are working on the issue, so I’m thinking they’ll have this taken care of shortly.

So, if my recording is held up once again, it won’t be for long and I’ll just put my time to use writing some more tunes.

We’ll see how this day turns out.



When you get a chance, check out my blog at http://www.peaceloveandbeaches.com, it’s where I spend a lot of my time having fun and documenting my life escapades.

Have a Great Day!

Peace and love,

It’s never been my style!  EDM.  Hell do you realize how long it took me to find out what that acronym stood for???

Electronic Dance Music!  (I hope I got that right!)

The new recording software is so broad in it’s scope of what it can do for a musician that it has me experimenting!  EDM!!  I woke up this morning with this sound in my head and these lyrics!  I didn’t expect this!!  It doesn’t fit in with my music style and it doesn’t fit in with the music for my CD!!

I think I’m looking at a 3rd CD with a new genre for me …….EDM!!

Just thinking thru the recording process seems awkward.  I’ve never used software like this before and I’ve never written music like this before and ‘oh yeah’……I’ve never played music like this before!!!!  Just goes to show you……my life is full of variety and nothing goes without being explored!

While I’m not sure how this will come out, how I’ll fit in, I’m sure it will be interesting and it will be GOOD!!  I realized moments ago that Yoko Ono at age 83 is rocking the EDM genre and the younger audience and artist are accepting to her!!!  I’ll give it a whirl!  I guess now I’m gonna have to learn some dance moves.  I need to go watch some videos I guess.  It’ll probably help me to lose weight.  That’s a good thing!

This Style Is New To Me!

I can’t discord this!! While I’ve never done this before and it’s really not of a big interest to me. It seems my creativity is taking me there.  And who am I to question my creativity!!!  You just don’t go against your creativity.  It’s like looking a gift horse in the mouth. (I never really quite understood that saying!)

The thought of not having to put my hands on an instrument to make music is counter intuitive.  Is it cheating?  It’s odd!  It doesn’t seem like I’m playing music, that I’m a musician if I just use software to compose and produce.  But!!!  This stuff is popular and it’s winning Grammy Awards!!

You know……I could be the next Taylor Swift. Only in sandals and cutoffs……I’ll go topless if it’ll help.

I often write about adventure on my Facebook page and my blogging website http://www.peaceloveandbeaches.com .  Adventure doesn’t have to be where you physically go…..I’m realizing now it can be where I creatively go.  And that’s what I shall do!

I’m a bit apprehensive…..but I’m gonna do this and it will be GOOD!!

So, today starts that adventure….none of that music will quickly be posted here.  I’ll be refining and redefining it thru the upcoming months.  I’ll drop a sample here and there.  Get an opinion or two.

See ya soon!

Peace and Love,

John
