Schedule

I’ve determined that I should be able to reach my goal by investing 4 hours a week. The songs have already been written and arranged, some have even been recorded. Almost all of them need new vocals. I’ll be working on nine songs, one a month, as follows:

1. Ankle Tattoo Blues - February
2. Better Than Clapton - March
3. A Kind of Redemption - April
4. Boulevard Break - May
5. Del Mar - June
6. Silver Strand - July
7. Tide of Life - August
8. Caffiend - September
9. Stayin’ Alive - October

I intend to record vocals for one hour on Tuesday nights, record instruments for one hour on Thursday nights, and program/mix/whatever for two hours on Sunday mornings.

I will blog at least three times a week to “debrief” on the most recent session. If inspiration strikes and time permits, I’ll post more often. Conversely, if there is more work to be done with the music, I may post less. The goal is to record songs, not blog about recording songs. That said, I will do my best to maintain the writing schedule I have set forth.
