So amidst all this insanity (which is slightly improving each day), I have been adding to my library of Rush songs for Animation. It really has helped me get through some of this a lot. I now have 26 songs down; 2 that are almost there (I have to figure the 2nd weird solo to La Villa and all the weird intro stuff to Xanadu); 3 that I have to remember again (shouldn't take long); and 3 that I haven't done before (Time Stand Still, Losing It, and Bytor). The song, Losing It, is of particular interest. It is on the Signals album (the one that has New World Man and Subdivisions). They had a guest violinist, Ben Mink play. He really did a lot. I am not sure yet how in the world I am going to cover it. I'm saving it for last I think.
Also, through all this, I have been practicing my new Roland PK-5A midi pedals with Reason software on the computer. Ok, many of you not musically inclined probably thought I just spoke a foreign language. Basically, I have some killer sounds for some of the songs that I control with these pedals. I'll have to upload a picture of them someday.
Today was a better day for me. I felt I have to get on with my life (much of the difficulties were just running in my head). It was good. I feel like I can laugh a little again. That is a big step. It was hard to for a while. Later y'all...
