Howdy there folks.
Friday morning we had a bitch of a virus pop up on the studio computer. We had just eradicated another one about a week before, and we have no idea where either of them came from. Since the computers performance has been bad for a while, we decided to just go ahead and start completely over with it.

I just got everything installed back onto it yesterday, so today it was time for some testing practice style. This morning I pulled out the trusty ole’ silver EC, and started weeding through some OLD stuff. I said to myself “hell man I’m gonna play some of this old shit just for fun.” Boom! Tons of fun and memories came flooding out.

The set consisted of:

• Cold
• Dark Soul
• Born Into Christianity
• The Link
• Lunacy
• The Start
• Waiting (Reaper)
• Tired Of This
• Cycle Of Sins

Like I said old shit, but damn it was fun.  I ended that practice with Cycle Of Sins, which is a huge grooving song.  I admit I omitted several parts, mostly solos, because I just didn’t remember anything about how they went.  It was still great to jam along with those backing tracks.

Of course you know this means something.  I’m going to get busy and write some vocal melodies for Jessica for all of those songs plus The Madness and Remembering.  I have a lot ahead of me, but I’m back to getting that amazing feeling when I write something.  I can’t ignore that. 

With the exception of a very few, every song we have is considered to be in a rewrite or additional writing stage. When the songs are complete enough we will try to do videos of them. I usually rush videos out, because I get so damn excited about playing the song for some reason.  I wish just once I could capture a video of how I really play. Videoing things just make it so weird for me. 

We may have yet another practice later today, but I’m not sure yet. If we do you know I will post about it.
