The name of the song is 'Lonely'. We basically put it together tonight. This is the third take of the song we just spontaneously invented on the spot, and it's the first really coherent piece we've composed. It feels like a song. We don't have our signals down, so when I said 'break it down' - he didn't stop for a drum and bass solo but it worked out great, I think. I kept thinking about what Monk was saying in Straight No Chaser about getting your first reaction to the music on tape and living with the consequences if you mess up. So basically since there wasn't any written music and the whole thing was improvised from the jump, I think we did a pretty decent job.
It won't be long before Boy is going to far outstrip my abilities. In fact, I'm just hoping I can keep up with the Christmas caroles we're going to be recording in the next few weeks. So welcome to our little jam sessions.
