six months in 3 and a half minutes - a mellow time in the stormcellar
Got some quick video done. Ah, so relaxing.

Sat Ms Fitz, Hawkie and the cellar fellers will be in Newcastle.
Sunday we'll be in marrickville for a short set at Lazybones.
Ok it's ranty rant time.
Once I have installed the license robot to keep me under surveillance, which uses passwords, so I can use your software, why are you making me log in to your software?
That's right Pro tools First, I'm talking to you.
Big ups to Innovative Music for helping me sort some software stuff
It took me a clear 3 hours to trial, reject, retry, log into, create account, recover account, before I found some basic method for recording multi track stuff.
Why would I be doing that, you may ask.
Guide tracks.It's guide track time.
Picture unrelated. My fascination with Cranes in Sydney continues.
Reminder?
After what seems like a bunch of Oops/Nopes and ARGHS, we're on track for the next projects.
Enough for me to be able to talk about them and start looking for input.
Sort of.
As soon as we fix a date for the first one.
Maybe. Unless I get shy about it, as per usual.
Nah.
I'll just post working product when we get to it
Guide tracks. Good to be back at it.
Oh here's a pic from Jude's farewell at the Bridge.a good turn out
and of course, some recent inspiration seeking bushwalking with Friend Of the Band, Sam
I got some video, we'll see how it turns out.
Oh yeah, and Dion has started editing the first video for the Live video project.
You see what I mean? after a lull, things are back in action.
So no matter what's going on out there, it's Business As Usual in the 'Cellar.
With luck some new video soon, plus some new things you might be interested in joining/doing.
Dum da dee...back to work.
Also happy 4th to our US cousins :-)
John asked me to chat, and what muso doesn't want to bang on about themselves eh? eh? Or talk about my guitarists.
Or stuff.
So there.
BUMP!!
Ahem.
On behalf of our associates in KC, we remind youse wise guys out there, that the Kansas City Street Fair is on 29 June.
We send our respects.
Fuggedaboudit!
I mean DON'T Fuggedaboudit!
If you happen to be in KC or near by on the 29th of June, get on out to the circle L ranch and spend some time with some friends of ours.
Yeah. That's the case.
Almost recorded a guide track today. Came close, but other work over took us.
Argh.
We're doing the fun bit right now. Listening to tracks from other people, old stuff, cool fragments of things.
We're talking about Sounds, what we've done, what we'd like, wouldn't it be good to have a number that goes like this, how about this drum track.
For the keen Cellar Dweller, all these are signs of imminent work.
For example.
'Crossfire' is a new song we wrote for CC and DH to do. We're ready for 2nd stage guide track which means drums.
I need a clean version so I put it on repeat and listen to it while I fix my current 2nd verse which is not good. Well. Non existent. Sort of.
These are the hallmarks of work. A little sanding, a little angle grinding, a little painting.
There's no rush, merely the scheduling necessary to have the maximum available fun.
