Leaps and Bounds

Tommy threw me a curve ball and released the first #RoxX music video, the lyric video for original "Brand New Me" which was released earlier on Soundcloud.  Check it out HERE:

RoxX - Brand New Me

Today I arrived at noon at the studio expecting to record vocals for 2 originals.  I mis-read the email or something, today was video shoot day!  No problem.  Basically shot in what I wore over there.  We shot almost 3 1/2 hours of footage for a 2 1/2 minute Beatles track we covered a couple of years ago, "It Won't Be Long".  Did some funny stuff, much not exactly intentional, but a little prop humor was included in the mix.  He's got all of this footage PLUS an entire video he'd already created for the song (without lyrics since we didn't write it) and I'm thinking he weaves us around the Beatles '65 and '66 photos, so fingers crossed I'll be seeing at least a rough version of it soon.

You realize, this started with two old friends recording music in the basement.  Honestly, I'm still kind of stunned to be doing it, I enjoy almost every minute of it, including the creative parts and original writing.  I'm sure nothing of mine sounds "original" due to the fact I've got about 75 years of music crammed in my 61 year old head.  Know whut I mean, Vern?

That "other" change in the weather that gets to you.  It's got me right now.  Several straight days of sinus pain and throbbing in the front of my face, resorted to my old stand-by meds last night for a good night's sleep.  Already dosed myself tonight, eagerly awaiting a little bit of relief.  I'm pretty lucky these days with these allergies.  Lucky because 25 years ago I was going to a doctor 4-6 times a year for sinus problems and on prescription meds.  Today they have eased off and spring is not the murder it once was.  IF I have a bad season, the last few years it's been in the fall.  Hey, I'll survive it and make it back to studio tomorrow to sing even if I wake up with a sore throat.  Got a half gallon of throat miracle in the 'fridge right now, Orange-Pineapple juice, if it becomes necessary!
