Officially going into day two I find myself reminded of a few things  while, having my morning coffee. Having been in or around the music industry for what I personally consider, way to long. I always found myself worried about playing everything just right and not missing a note. Well, I am here to officially say... "Screw every little note. Forget rests, maybe I always personally thought there should be a bridge there. As a matter of fact... FORGET MUSIC. FORGET KEYS, AND TEMPOS. I want to make my own rhythm, I wanna switch the whole thing up. I wanna be.... well FREE"

I am glad I'm not sitting in front of sheet music. I have to admit, even coming into this yesterday I was thinking about transposing everything piece by piece. And the truth is maybe I will look into a few things I can't figure out. But, the beautiful thing is, I don't have to. With my new cbg I don't have to do anything I don't want to. It doesn't have to be perfect. No one will make me clap out beats if I play something and hold a note a bit longer than it should have been.

Oh and I bought a table top amp from eBay. I jammed on it all night. Now, my boys think I'm nuts but, I quickly realized that being the mom with facial piercings and dreads kinda already made me the Crazy Mom. Not to mention the Banana Farm I live on. So, In all actuality I'm just holding up appearances. *big grins*

So yesterday on my first day I learned a cool little bluesy bridge and part of Bad To The Bone, Thanks to LJ. And who knows what I might learn today. Lots of people here have been welcoming and given me tips and links to places to learn stuff so, I'll go through those today. I feel really lucky to have found a support system to help me along this new and cool path.

Oh and my question for today. Can one hook up a mic to one of these portable table top amps? Or does a vocal amp have to be cleaner? Oh heck, does cleaner even matter?

Peace, love and Really Cool Noise, Earth
