Little Seeds of Potential

We spent yesterday afternoon working on new songs. It's always a hopeful thing.  Little seeds of potential. If we can make songs sound good with two voices and one acoustic guitar, it's a good bet that bringing them to the band will make them even better.

Some songs come fast, in a flash, some are clunky at first and need work. Both modes can work. You never know when a little riff will lead to something better. So we slogged through the steps, worked out parts, played with the timing, worked out changes, etc.

We had our little digital recorder. This is an essential tool. Sometimes things emerge in the moment, and if you don't capture that little spark, well, it can vanish. Also you can later review and hear the good and the bad.

So after the session it's clear we have some new candidates for a whole new set of music. Love this part of the process. It's work, but it's the essential work.
