      From: someone@anywheret.net              "JimD" wrote in message news:2018062111332312653-email@nowherecom...              > most demos are just a songwriter singing to piano or guitar. no point       > spending time on production on a demo, it doesn't matter much.              You just finished mentioning that those first versions aren't very good       musically, clearly indicating that the Quality of the demos Does mattter - a       Lot actually, which is why I at least recorded my demos with 5 tracks - to       give an idea of how the song will sound when performed with a band, i.e. not       solo.              Because I don't want some prospective lead hearing my tunes and saying;       'they sound like they might, possibly have some potential' rather than       saying WOW!!! THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! ;)              And speaking of which, I'm only one half verse and one chorus away from       completing tune #41, "It's Already Here", the 5th song on the currently       under construction and yet to be titled 4th album...only 7 more tunes to go!              > I have a duo today, and we're coming up on ending the band. Just need to       > do it.              Why do you put it in those terms? "ending the band'...as though you're the       one doing it when it's the band that's doing it themselves.              > an the roofing guy finally called ...... crew will be here monday.       > sheesh, like I'll ever get some rest :-)              Yeah, it seems like all that crap all comes at once or in rapid succession.              > I'm reasonably stable, save that I will fly into a rage if provoked       > sufficiently .....              I'm waaaaaay past that - if I'm sufficiently provoked, I'll just fly, AWAY!       As for being stable, I'd say I'm just about as stable as it's possible to be       while being Tortured!!!              > this weeping and shit is worrysome.              I've got much more than all so many reasons to gush uncontrollably, totally       break down and lose it, but if I did, I'll be a totally debilitated basket       case and wouldn't be able to function, which if carried past a very small       point, would mean I wouldn't be able to survive either...and it's been that       way for every one of my 62 trips around the sun, my whole so-called 'life'.              > it is a bit of a mess, isn't it ?              More than merely a mess, it's a Hell on earth!              > at this point, it's just down to the divorce.                     Jim              Divorce? For a band? ;)              Nope, not in this case, because from what you've mentioned, they were never       'married' ;)              Ouisie              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
