2021 50/90 Song Number 34 Groovy. Or at least it would have been in more capable hands. Another in a long list of "record this first idea that pops into your head when you plug in your guitar" songs. I wasn't planning on 5/4 time, but…

2021 50/90 Song Number 32 Another song with a haiku for each stanza. I was planning on doing this a lot this summer but I think there are only two or three. I still have time to add more but I probably won't. This is unique this year in…

2021 50/90 Challenge Song Number 27 You know what? I like this one a lot. I haven't done much of what you could call "hard rock" this summer, but this one might qualify. It's another in a growing line of songs in 3/4 time that are attempts…

2021 50/90 song number 16 of 50. I like this one. I think I screwed up the guitar part in the chorus about a thousand and two times before I finally had a useable take. I think it was probably worth it. The guitars are a Les Paul standard…

Three down, 47 to go. I like this one even though there is nothing to it. I threw the bass line together on a Friday evening. It was late and I wanted to get something down before I went to sleep. It was a simple little nothing. On Saturday…

2021 50/90 Challenge, song #2. I started this at midnight on July 4, 2021. The very minute the 50/90 challenge started. I'm 90% sure I've used almost exactly the same melody before, and I'm 99.999% sure I've used exactly the same guitar and…

And the 2021 50/90 Challenge is underway. One down, 49 to go. This one came quick and easy, which probably means I've written this entire song already but who cares. I like the chorus. I sing an arpeggio. It's almost like I took two years…

2021 50/90 Song Number 44 Another swing thing... sort of. Not as overt as the others, and I really wasn't planning on it. The GarageBand session drummer suggested it and I figured the session drummer knows best, right? All of the fun of…

2021 50/90 Song Number 43 This is actually my 53rd and likely final song idea for this year's 50/90 and I kinda like it. I mean it is kinda boring, what with what I laughingly referred to as a chorus just being eight bars of Emin7, and one…

2021 50/90 Song Number 41. I haven't really slept in almost three days and yet I mixed a song. I have no idea if it's listenable or not. Am I overusing the wah pedal? Why yes, yes I am. Is it bad? Hell if I know, I am so tired I'm not…
