Welcome Back LJ
Jul. 29th, 2011 10:06 pmWell, this is the first time I've been able to do anything on LJ for quite a few days... I tried to post a fairly long & detailed entry a couple of days ago & the internet has eaten it.
Ah well... all's well & nothing wildly interesting or important has happened. We did go to a birthday party for an old friend & erstwhile bandmate & I now have ten LP records of my early band's work. Being old school, holding a big twelve inch... record feels more 'proper' than just a CD.
Sounds good too... although my inner critic can't help but feel that there are a few tracks on there where I'm desperately flailing around trying to sound like I know how to play guitar & patently don't. On the other hand, one track features a nice little guitar riff that I'd be happy to have come up with today, twenty five years later. So either I haven't improved much since then, or I at least showed a little promise after only picking up a guitar a year before the recordings...
Rhetorical...
