I had plenty of downtime today while my grandfather dozed in his recliner, but I assure you that my Garageband creation is not worth the time spent listening. I think for the purpose of the Sunday Songs series, I should abandon Garageband and use my guitar for writing songs.

My trouble with writing songs on Garageband is that although I find it easy to use the program to stack up tracks for an individual section of a song, it is difficult to try out different ways of going from section 1 to section 2, if that makes any sense. While using guitar, it's very easy to just play through different song changes to try and figure out what to do.

Anyway, we did have our first live band practice in about a month (we're getting ready for the show on the 25th) and I thought it sounded good. We're planning to practice quite a bit over the summer and hopefully record as well. There will be some changes in lineup, though, most likely. I'm in Blue Ridge right now but heading back toward Athens momentarily, hoping I can catch Circulatory System tonight.
