Just Another Thursday

So, today started REALLY REALLY late. I think I actually got out of bed at one in the afternoon. If you are a nerd and look at what time posts are made (which sadly, I am), you would have noticed I was up rather late. I do not have classes on Thursday, so, it's my day to catch up on rest.

I did a little "housekeeping" around the dorm. This place is getting really old and too small. I'm ready for my room at home. I worked on a recording we did at the Wesley last night for about an hour. We (Tracing Mason) have a song called "Reliable" that we're finished with and used it in worship. It was acoustic/percussion rather than full band, but it turned out wonderfully. I am tweaking it to use on my demo of stuff. I am trying to put together a demo of me playing so that if anyone is interested, they can get a rough idea about my style and what not. After that I headed to pratice with Ryan Finnerud (a worship leader at Harmony Hill Baptist in Lufkin).

Pratice went well...I played on the drumset that was set up there. This set is a really cool one, nicely tuned/good cymbals, but it's the same set as mine. He just tunes his way differently. That made the feel of the music go a little differently. Ryan is working with some new musicians and that is always tricky, but he handled it well. I really feel that God is sharpening my skills because Ryan continuously told me that I "went" right "where" he wanted me to. Transitions are one thing I understand, and think work effectively. Ryan and I don't play together often, so I guess he doesn't know that.

So now I am off to work on a rough draft for English about technology in society. Sounds like a real "wake-me-up" topic. Until tomorrow...
