This is some of the music I've been working on. This is just a quick demo of 4 songs and an intro that I've been playing around with. This is a very rough recording. I mainly wanted to get this recording done so that it would be easier for me to start working on the lyrics. Once the lyrics are written and the vocals are recorded I will re-record all the guitar and bass tracks.
My plan is to work on the lyrics while I'm running my 100 miler this weekend.
I've been playing around with writing music whenever I'm free. I have the drums, keyboards, and bass recorded for 5 songs. I'm starting to get ready to record the guitar tracks now. Today I played around with recording the guitar parts. I should start recording later this week now that I have everything set up. This was just a quick recording I did today to see how things would roughly sound.
Once all the guitar tracks are done I'll start writing lyrics and looking for someone to record them as well.
On April 1st I set out to do 200 miles in the Marin Headlands. I did this as a fundraiser for the We Defy Foundation. The above link is to a podcast I did with my buddy Bernard about the experience of covering 200 miles, and the reason I picked the We Defy Foundation as my organization to use this as a fundraiser for.
I will hopefully have the video from the 200 mile adventure edited and posted within the next few days.
I just realized I never posted about my 10th Headlands 100. I just got on here because I decided I wanted to start posting again, and I found the beginning draft of blog for my 10th running of the Headlands 100 that I never finished. Instead of trying to write about something that happened almost 19 months ago, I think it might be better to just post the video.
Since this event I attempted to run the Headlands 150 miler that took place during the later part of 2020, and I failed to complete the distance. I did go back out in April of 2021 and completed the 150 mile distance, and then decided to do an extra 50. I was planning on posting about the 200 mile experience tonight, but when I saw that this entry was left unfinished, I figured I should do a quick post on this instead and wrap it up.
Tomorrow I'll post the first of two blog entries about the Headlands 200 event that I did back in April of this year (2021).
I've decided to give this blog another honest effort. I feel like there has been so much going on in my life that I'd like to write about. I'm playing music again, my kids are training jiu jitsu with me, and just a bunch of random stuff.
