Halfway there

Yo. Six days in, six songs written. I'm loving this challenge. I can't wait to tell you all the concept(s) I've chosen for this exercise. I think I may have an entirely new album by the time I'm done with this ... but I won't promise anything yet. I may come up with six final pieces of shit come next week. But if the first six are any indication, then it looks promising.

Since I last posted, I've written two more songs: "May I" and "Father's Day." The first one is really nice. The second one's OK. But I cannot WAIT to let you judge for yourself. MAN, this is exciting.

Thursday was Elvis' birthday. I celebrated by going piano shopping, running some errands, and updating to Logic Pro for my home recording setup, all the while listening to my Elvis playlist. I barely had time for any Elvis movie watching, but I did watch the first bit of Blue Hawaii and caught a special on Biography.

For your reading pleasure, and in honor of the King, here are the songs that compile my Elvis playlist. Suggestions are welcome if you determine a gem that's missing:
