. . . More bits and pieces. . .

The new studio setup is coming together. Realistically,  as my guitar rig progresses, so does my recording setup. I have a couple of new tricks for my mics, and new speakers for my guitar cab on the way. Ted Weber designed, for anyone who might care. A few more pieces to get my guitars back into tip-top shape, and then I'll be looking at new pres and a control surface. There's a nice synergy going on there. Oh, and there seems to be a new part to it too. Pulled out a book of classical scores the other day, which heavily influenced one of the songs below. It came together rather nicely throughout the course of a single day, which is kind of unusual, so I picked up a book of Lieder songs by Brahms. He's been one of my favourites as far as instrumental music goes, and The German Requiem is rather nice, but I think I'm going to have to develop a separate opinion about his Lieder as they have a different feel.


Anyhow, first we have a piece with working title "Old Habits". This one's been in the cooker for a bit, and I just can't seem to get words for the verses to sit quite right.
