Drastic measures call for drastic times. And vice versa.
And that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these drastic measures will walk all over you…
My quarantine project = playing, recording, mixing, mastering, and SHARING homecrafted music.
I play the ukulele. And build cigar box guitars, and play them. And play harmonica, and four-string banjo. And a bouzouki that I bought in Greece. Occasionally — very occasionally, and only by defying doctors orders– I “sing.”
Over the next few weeks, my goal is to generate a track every two or three days in an effort to become more facile at recording, mixing, and mastering.
Why?
To demonstrate that life can be MUCH WORSE than just fighting a lethal respiratory virus. Count your blessings.
