The Story Of An Unlikely Dream
To Become A Musician
It's boot camp day, I don't know what Tom's got planned and I'm filled with a mix of fear and sheer excitement. I am hoping that I can get things sorted with Zak for one of these too because I know it will do us the world of good.
I failed miserably in staying focused but that new song is something I'm so so incredibly proud of even if it still has a long way to go. I've worked out a big chunk of the piano, it has some beautiful finger picked guitar over the top and soft falling drums giving it a lovely relaxing groove. Strings of course haha - well it is a soppy song! The bass I haven't got worked out yet but it will be simple and then there is the strumming for the chorus - ARGH why do I have to be so bad. I'm so proud of it I'm not going to preview it and spoil the finished song :) Yesterday was a mammoth day and today's going to be another one but I'm really loving it. The only problem is once this is all done coming down the other side of this manic high will be very painful especially as I'm still very delicate. I'll just try and keep myself busy and focused and I'm really looking forward to Zak's lesson too on Thursday so that will be great. Plus I have a concert to go to on Wednesday so that's going to be wicked fun too. Easter is coming up so egg hunts with the kids and hubby has a few days off. So lots to keep my chin up with. So sorry nothing to listen to today but trust me it will be worth the wait. I'm not saying it's amazing because I'm obviously still learning but I do think it's going to be the best I've done yet. These recent songs I'm so pleased with, it really feels like I've taken a big step forward especially as it was only Christmas when I finally managed to get through that "Great Wall Of China" sized barrier to writing my first structured song so to come from that to here in 4 months is something I should be happy with. At least for now haha! But that's what drives people on, always looking for the next step to be a little better. Have a great day and I'll report back after my mammoth Tom lesson!!!

Learning Time LogHow long I've been learning as at at the end of Dec 2020.
What's This About?One fateful day I decided to get guitar lessons. 5 years later I'm learning four instruments and trying to become a musician and songwriter. I've set a five year goal (Aug 2021) to create a very special song for my 25th wedding anniversary and this is a record of my crazy journey, weird thoughts, strange doodles and unapologetic music obsession!
