Yeah. It doesn’t seem to behave the same way twice.

Nothing simple about family things.

What’s really confusing is the ordering of comments in this post. They’ve gotten downright postmodern. I wonder what the hell is going on.

It’s simple, I have a family thing happening right now and it’s been consuming a lot of my time. I thought, because of the family thing, I would have to spend the weekend in St Charles helping out. Turns out someone else will be there.

Well, now I’m confused.

As for being away from home, my flight today was canceled, so they put me on the next flight, but them promptly canceled it, too. So now I’m on the 9:30 am flight tomorow. I wouldn’t mind so much except that my wife is getting her 20 week ultrasound tomorrow morn, and now I shall miss it. I was looking forward to seeing what our new little girl is up to in there.

Did I mention that it’s a girl?

At any rate, I can now made a click track of Outside.

Yes. I intend to scream like a little girl if he actually does it!

New news on weekend as well. I might NOT have to spend the weekend away from home…so recording of DT might just happen.

I will not be recording any drum parts this weekend. Just found out that I will be spending the entire weekend out of town. (Leaving Friday night and coming back Sunday night.)
I will miss my boy…but I will be seeing JERRY LEWIS live!!

Re: Outside. Just so long as the drum part is GOOD, I don’t care what you do. It’s true that when I “concoct” a drum part from loops that idea sticks in my head, but I’ve worked to get over my attachment to it and just let the collaboration happen. Especially now that I’ve used the same drum loops in different order over and over I get tired of hearing the same old fills, so I’m hoping you’ll come up with different–and more interesting–stuff. The loops are only useful to give the demo some structure so you can get the idea of what I’m trying to do.

Re: Special Boy. It is crazy fast. I’m going to have to try the vocals again, especially on the second verse. I absolutely love the guitar tone I achieved on this one. I want an amp with that tone.

This weekend, if time allows, my focus will be on Dance Theodora.
Then Outside…and just so you know, my drum part will sound nothing like the drum-machine part you concocted.

I just remembered you asked for a click track to Outside, which I completely forgot to do. And it’s too late now. I won’t be back to that computer until next Tuesday. Sorry. Maybe you can just count? I’d recommend counting 8/8 time during the “normal” parts, rather than 4/4. I did and it made it easier to transition to the 7/8 parts.
