Comments (0) Chris and I did get time to work on new music this evening. We are continuing our recent method of recording short pieces of music at a matched tempo to assemble and arrange it later. However, this time, we recorded all the pieces using FourTrack on my iPhone. The results were more than acceptable for writing purposes. We are looking forward to recording more music this way as it is a very relaxed way to write and document our work.
Chris and I are planning to get together again tomorrow night to work on music, and I am really looking forward to it. The last time we were together, we started developing an idea that I had sent along to him earlier this month. Hopefully, we can continue to work on this piece, or maybe something new will appear.
Last month, Chris and I talked about starting to learn cover songs to do a few acoustic duet shows this summer, and we should work on this tomorrow as well. We haven’t selected songs yet, but we should decide on at least two or three to learn.
Moon Pies: The Treat of Choice
During the summer of 1994, Cinema was doing more playing than it ever had before. We were on a regular rehearsal schedule, and had two or three shows each month during the summer. Usually, Chris would be the first to state that he was hungry during travel or a rehearsal.
If we were out and about we would stop at a convenience store and buy mixed snacks such as kippered beef steaks, Snapple sweet teas, Combos snacks or Moon Pies. I’m not sure why we designated Moon Pies the treat of choice back then, but Chris may have consumed his weight in these things over that summer. I’ve always thought they were good, but not that good!
A couple years later, the treat of choice changed to E. L. Fudge sandwich cookies. However, that is a story for another time. Until then, I’d like to pay tribute to my good friend Chris. I thought of him when I saw these delicious treats on display a couple days ago. I promptly took a picture and sent an email to him when I saw them!
Noah and I visited the Trueblood family this evening because Chris and I intended to have a writing session. However, he was experiencing computer issues, so we worked on that for most of the evening. We did develop the new musical idea from last Thursday a bit, though. So, music is still making its way into the world, slowly.
Noah Writes His Name
Noah and I were going to visit the Truebloods this evening. I was going to have a writing session with Chris, and Noah would have a play date with the girls. However, those plans didn’t happen. Unfortunately, that happens sometimes. So, instead, Noah and I had a cheap dinner and played at an indoor playground for a little while.
When we got home, we listened to Kidz Bop and worked on a puzzle that he got for Christmas. After that, he wanted to draw so he worked on writing his name. Before bed, we read a few books and watched a couple cartoons. I love days like these!
