Alright, so tOSU is out of the running (dangnabbit! How could this happen? Don't answer that), and the only thing going on right now is our band. More gigs popping up through November; maybe calm down in December. If I'm not around, don't be alarmed; it's hunting season in the jungle.

Inspiration and Frustration...daily occurences for musicians.  In #3, I mentioned studio work and how it is grueling for me.  Let me expound that topic for a moment...I need to vent.  For a composer, getting a melody can be tricky (not always, sometimes it just happens, sometime you labor at it).  Once you get that idea (still may need tweaked), I find myself playing a piano or a guitar and putting chords to the melody.  So now, like any artistic endeavor, a foundation has been laid, some building has strengthen it, and now lyrics need to be added that match the tempo…
