Pretty much have it finished. Need to add a few more vocal takes and tinker with the drums but will send to Patrick on Monday. Sent him a reference file today. 081624 Words and vocals for Pigeon Falls bridge. 081524 Added a bridge to Pigeon Falls. This is an unverving act but I almost always survive it. I think it came out really well. Added piano solo, acoustic guitars, bass, conga (back of classical guitar) and vocals. I think this song is too far along to make it a Real Flower Pots production. 081424 I dreamed the a chunk of a song a few days ago (Pigeon Falls) and as always tried to capture the spirit of it in Pro Tools. I rarely get the feel of the dream but I always get something. Patrick helped with me some MIDI connectivity issues so now it's all plonky, sparky and tinkley. 081324 Added better bass and acoustic guitar takes to Pigeon Falls. 081124 KC radio station KKFI playing something from The Real Flower Pots on 08/29/24. 080924 Decided to celebrate my birthday by getting some JMLP and other jams that are on my phone set up as songs in Pro Tools. Session-70, Session-76 and Deface now share a birthday with me. I love you guys. 080124 Had a sleepless night which was useful for coming up with better words for Drain the Last of the Sand. 073124 Patrick working on Quatro. 072824 Spent a couple of days on Drain the Last of the Sand. Spent most of today on the outro. Sent it to the man who has to mop up after me. 072624 Added melodies, bass and percussion to Drain the Last of the Sand and sent to Patrick for feedback. 072424 Started on Real Flower Pots song #6 currently titled Sound Hold but soon to be titled Drain the Last of the Sand. 072324 Set up distribution for what will tentatively be titled "Here Come The Real Flower Pots". 071724 Holiday is available for doing stuff to right this very now. 071624 Heard the final mix of Holiday Should have the master tomorrow.

These are really good songs. 070824 The Scene is playing some Real Flower Pots music on their show tonight. 070224 Saturnine is available for streaming and downloading. Patrick will start on Holiday next. Fun JMLP rehearsal right up until my Jazzmaster died. Decided this morning that it makes sense for me to finish all of the Real Flower Pots stuff I have on hand before starting another solo album. And finishing all of the Real Flower Pots stuff I have on hand I shall do. Started on song #9. 070124 Saturnine will be the next Real Flower Pots release. "Of a person: having a tendency to be cold, bitter, gloomy, sarcastic, and slow to change and react." 063024 Sent P. a mix of Saturnine with my new parts added. Let the hand-wringing begin. 062924 Got inspired and recorded some alt drum and bass parts for Saturnine. Also add some jumpy piano. 062724 Patrick sent me Saturnine (this was Ravioli in my unfinished songs box) to consider for any additional parts. Thank you Barry Lee and KKFI for the spin. Every time somebody plays Dingus on the radio grumpy Thomas gets a . valentine. 062424 Patrick is working on some of his contributions and mixing mine. Summary: Don't bother Patrick. He's super busy. 061224 God's Horn now available on SoundCould. 061124 I bought a Boss SL-2 last weekend. That and this stupid DFEACE tuning are about to make me go mad with bits. Do I make a 20 minute song out of this barrel of bits or do I make 4 reasonably-sized songs? 060724 First Real Flower Pots single "God's Horn" available today exclusively on BandCamp. 060524 Got a mix of Look Who's Come to Call back from P. 052224 Got the first God's Horn mix back from Patrick. 051724 It's painful listening to past recordings. All I hear are my influences. I would like to think that I have finally found my own "voice" but I'll wager a future review will prove me wrong. I wonder if Burton Cummings feels this way. 043024 Started work on one of the DFEACE songs. Going with Sonny Philip's Magnet Box. 042924 Unweildy pile of ideas using DFEACE turning and freshly learned 9th chords swaying in my head fruit. 041224 Did a bit more editing on God's Horn and sent a V3 mix to Patrick. 041124 Bravely added a 40 measure bridge to God's Horn . It was terrifying and exhilarating. 040524 First mix back for God's Horn . This is going to be glorious. Started fooling around with some 9th chords. Tenatively titled Here Come the Ants. Scheduled some time with Danny to write a song ala Seven Little Eyes. 033124 Sent Patrick the session for Real Flower Pots song #6 - now named Storm Shelter #6 after adding some alt takes of bass, lyre and lap steel. Girl for Samson "12" and "sleepnovox" remixes available everywhere tomorrow. 032924 Added lyre, bass, cabassa, hi-hats, snare, lap steel and lyre to song #6 currently titled Shelter Jam #6. 032824 Added a xylophone, lyre, set of triangles and a pair of UFIP hi-hats to the arsenal today. I have fantasies about worming my 1970s blue sparkle Ludwigs back into my space. I don't think I've used them up here since I record the drums for juiceboxberries. 032524 Sent Patrick the session for Real Flower Pots song #10 - now named Look Who's Come To Call. That puts 3 of his that I fleshed out in the queue: God's Horn Holiday Look Who's Come To Call and he is in various stages of completion with 5 of mine. 032424 Getting after RFP #10. This is one Patrick knocked off in a day but was never moved enough to come up with a vocal melody. One of the advantages of not having much of a melodic range AND not being a perfectionist is that any collection of 3 to 5 notes is enough to inspire me to the mediocrity you've come to love and deserve. Added vocals, classical guitar and harmonica and sent him P. a mix before I write words and get better takes of things. 032224 Came up with lyrics in like 3 seconds for RFP #12. which is now Holiday. Sent a copy to my comrade for review. 032124 Added loads of hand percussion to RFP #12. Also added a lap steel and sampled a didgeridoo for some warped melodies. 032024 Sent P. my ideas for his Real Flower Pots demo DFAM-fun. 031524 Started on another Real Flower Pots song. #12, I think. Trying to find an inspiring melody using an instrument that only has 4 note holes. 031324 Sent P. the God's Horn session. 031224 God's Horn: Re-sang everything and started the process of trying to get better recorder parts. Tracked the bass recorder right before a Petunias practice. 031124 Sent Patrick a mix of God's Horn. 030924 Started fiddling with vocals on Real Flower Pots Groove 3. Added cello, viola, recorders, bells, banjo and classical guitar. Bought a nice recorder set that included a soprano and bass for sugar on top later this week. Note to future self: research how to stop Pro Tools from incrementing the input channel assignment every time you create a new track. Note to future self: buy viola dope. 030824 Starting work today on Real Flower Pots stuff. Groove 3, for the record. 030724 Fiddled with some sampling using Structure. Fiddled with recording with Boom. Fiddled with recording the Sire. Fiddled with getting my cello up to code. Made a fiddle out of a two liter coke bottle and a dust pan. Got a pile of beautiful grooves from Patrick for Real Flower Pots. 030624 Real Flower Pots songs are officially in progress. My demo Ravioli is currently under construction and I'll be starting on something new today. 120723 Talked to Patrick about doing something together once I am finished with Blind Cat Missing. Will call it The Real Flower Pots.Official Website and Social Media Links
