Today's V'Day!

The deadline for creating our Valentines tunes is up! The time to deliver them to each other was now or never for better or for worse!

I had completed my musical accompaniment & written the bulk of my lyrics over the past couple of days - but like any good procrastinator, I didn't actually start laying down any of my vocal tracks until late last night after I had gotten home from The Made-Up Musical. Of course by that time I was in no shape to sing, so I opted to wait to finalize my vocals until late this afternoon - essentially moments before I was to meet up with my Valentine. I wasn't prepared to stop finishing up my recording until Iwas satidfied that it was as close to perfection as humanly possible. This took longer that I had originally anticipated, but in the end, it was all worth it.

The side effect of all of this is that I can see how much I enjoy writing and composing music and I want to continue writing songs and put them into a show - just like my boyfriend's roommate did - but I also wouldn't mind writing songs for other people as well. I think that later this week I'm going to sit back down at the underused piano I have sitting in my apartment & see if I can't wrangle something out of it. If all else fails - I can always go back to my trusty Super Duper Music Looper!
