I guess I knew this would happen. Talk about creating one's own reality Sheeeeesh. End of the month and my pen has been re-fueled and I added some vox to this one, plus some lead guitar, and a bit of synth strings. I also took a shot at some…

Just a guitar instrumental at this point. I don't know where it's going. I can hear some lyrics, but my pen is on hiatus for now.

Wasting away another weekend with some scales and mode practice on the synthesizers. all the percussion is from the Juno drum patches and my fingers. For you folks out there who enjoy the mode stuff this is Phrygian in A A,Bb(A#),C,D,E,F,G,(A)

This is my 3rd home recording. I dug it out again and cleared the moth balls. "Tart it up a bit" as Sis would say. I found out that if you rub a strat the wrong way, it will talk back to you. I tried many times to re-create this guitar work…
