Short Lived

(This is what my bass looks like)


I broke out my bass today. First of all let me just say that I have not picked it up forever because of the kids. I can barely keep the house clean and the food cooked...but there are so many times that I will be listening to a song and think I want to learn it. Usually that happens when I want to learn the piano for it. I wish I had a piano so I could just get the sheet music and learn those songs, but other times I'll be listening to a song and think I wish I had my drum set here so I could play along to this. Today I was listening to a song and wanted to pick up my bass and learn it. This happens too. Someday I'll be able to get back into my music but Phoenix was napping and Marce was watching a movie so I figured maybe I could play around for a bit. Wrong. I plugged everything in only to find that something wasn't working. One time before this has happened and it was my bass that needed to be taken in because it had got jostled. I have a feeling it's my guitar chord this time, which would be good. They are cheap. Marce has gotten it out a lot of times and played with it before I could snatch it up and put it away again. I doubt it's my bass. It hasn't been touched basically since the move. But, it could be. Whatever it is, I'll figure it out sometime. I was going to learn Starlight from Muse. It doesn't really matter because as soon as I hooked it all up and found that it wasn't going to work, I heard the cry from the crib. Such is my life...

Man, I hope it's not your bass. That would not be good...

Gee, that sounds rough. Its hard to find a moment to actually sit down and work on music- must be even harder with kids

It is! It was so much easier to come home from school (college) and start playing and working on my music. No big deal. I did all of my writing before, during, and after school either in school or on the comutes. When I got home I just practiced everything. I won't be able to really do anything with my music until the kids are able to pretty much take care of themselves. Once in a while a song will come to me and I'll write it down. In college I was writing everyday! I don't want to lose that so I try and stay inspired enough and in tune.
