I was going to title the post “Planes, Trains & Metaphors” as things related to this project went into a stall, got derailed. I pulled up in an effort to get back on track.  (“A metaphor is a glorious thing…” -Sparks from Metaphor).

Life events made it difficult to get anything done in the past month (seems like the way this year’s been going so far).

That said, this weekend, I have opened the bass case, uncovered the keyboard and fired up the DAW (computer recording software).

Yesterday I practiced some Get-Up tunes in preparation for the annual Cabin Practice/Concert weekend in April (it’s our 1st ever Maryland appearance – the birds and squirrels will never be the same!).

This morning I set up everything for recording, listened to my last version of Fool Play and wasted some time trying to play/record drums using my computer keyboard, in conjunction with Ableton Live Lite, without any success.

I have 2 issues of Recording magazine waiting for me – it’s time to get back in gear.
