Today’s song pretty much came out the way I wanted. The production value is not great and I had hoped to improve the guitar sound a little bit and ran out of time. Story of this project.

Late afternoon: tinkered around with the chords and the story line
6:00 p.m. - Sat down to write the lyrics from A-Z
9:00 p.m. - Recording starts with an hour interruption. Guitar and vocals came first, then everything else. There is an inexplanable hick-up in the first beat of the refrain but when I look at the MIDI data everything looks fine. Ghost in the machine.
11:45 p.m. - Mixing starts and proceeds quickly. First bounce already is good enough to proceed on.

Learnings: None.
