Finally just sat down and recorded the solo guitar version of "Cincinnati" which is "Part Two" on the album, so that brings the total completed songs up to four.

My rough mixes are slightly longer than the final versions will be because most of them leave in like an extra measure or whatever count-in I haven't bothered to edit out yet. Some of them have extra space at the end from some unused track that was longer, etc. But even taking that into consideration, it looks like I have right around 10 minutes worth of completed music at this point (if you count also one song that doesn't have vocals but will soon).

So far I have not been paying much attention to the running time at all because I've just assumed that 13 songs would come out to be at least 30 minutes given the average length of the songs I write. I'm still not going to worry about it, but it's interesting to note that I've just hit right around one third both in the number of completed songs and in the total time. Of course, I know "We Are Not in Kansas Anymore" and "They Never Finished Mt. Rushmore" are both on the long side (for me anyway), so I suspect the total time will jump enough to be totally safe for the final tally as soon as one of those songs comes out of the chute finished.

Tomorrow's the halfway point. I'm a tiny bit behind where I want to be I think, but before I declare that I'll see what all I can get done tomorrow.

what's on:
"Made My Bed" (Kate Jacobs - (What About Regret))
