Exciting...

hello everyone...

me and Rene waited for almost an hour and a half for our vocalist... i waited a bit longer than Rene since he came in 20 minutes after i arrived...

anyways, while waiting, i got myself pre-occupied with a few things like playing PSP, tinkering a bit my guitar's bridge and most specially, trying very hard not to get annoyed by some showband character loitering around the studio... i don't have anything against showbands but this one hits the level... if i only had my camera with me that very moment...

it was just me, Rene and Carissa... Dennis and Jeff (whose filling in for Jann Paul who won't be available for this month's Buzz Night) had other things to do... the practice went on really well and i think i was able to assess Carissa's improvements... i could safely say that she did improve a lot... we did about 10 songs and most of them she sang quite good... i even tried letting sing alone in some songs... although she has yet to sing the songs the way i intend them to be sung but with the way things are right now - with most of us not being able to be together at the same time in one instance - i think i will just have to do with what she can do... i'm confident that she'll be a better vocalist for us than what i'm expecting her to be... this means a lot of for Soft Pillow Kisses... it'll be less singing for me, a better female vox representation during recordings - if you notice that most of our recording output is 50/50 guy girl vocals... i'm hoping that with her, it'll be a much more girl vocals-dominated song... i won't concern myself anymore with writing songs based on whether she could sing this or not... etc..., etc...

wish we could still practice some more, in a full band set-up just before the 29th in preparation for Buzz Night...
