Trial run of "The Sanctuary Song" from top to bottom with room lights. There was no point in filming because I won't use the clip, it has to be lasers or nothin'.
There needs to be some more of that for general muscle building and strength is ok but endurance isn't.
The solo piano bit is now dual trumpets but may not stay that way and they recall the riff from Gabriel's Horn. I need to play with that some more to get it comfortably to the right key for "The Sanctuary Song" without being frilly about it.
The main deal with the song is to be careful about it getting too long. This part is the most difficult because it begs to keep going. It's not so much how many bars the lead guitar gets but how many verses. The song is probably blubber on the beach if it goes over seven minutes.
It's killin' me. I have to break down and hook up the second Boss RC-50 looper to see if I can get three more phrases for the loop that way. That are multiple chord changes in the phrases for the three primary loops but I could use one more for a breakout from the verse phrase and one more for the outtro. Yep, that would be splendid. Doing this would encourage it get longer but that's ok so long as it's dynamic enough in changes to hack it.
That will do it for now. Capturing the waving monk scene earlier and getting another run through the song feels like I wasn't inordinately lazy today.
Time is playing into this because temperatures have gone up for some Indian Summer. That makes for an excellent time to record through Friday evening and it will break on Saturday, they say possibly with tornadoes. Oh joy, how (cough) exciting.
Getting all heady with this is, erm, contraindicated given the raunch of my earlier shows. I knew early into it no matter how chaste Ms Prim and Proper may be, inside her is a young chiquita who still wants to nail the guitar player. At first it was cool because I didn't think I was that good anyway and what decision is there to make between a concert recital or a concert orgy. Fuhgedaboudit.
So I know for sure my music was making chicks get lusty. How much of that was me and how much the music is impossible to know. Part of it was entertaining and I did some (i.e. quite a few) really raunchy shows. They weren't all-out filthy but describing what it feels like to play the guitar can sound like total porno depending on how you do it and, yep, that was how I did it. The Silas version of "Wild Thing" is definitely filthy, tho. I'm so ashamed.
Well, they weren't really XXX-rated but they wouldn't have passed in Salt Lake City. Those Mormons would have burned me for sure. He was sent by the Devil!
Later I started thinking, well, maybe I don't suck as terribly as I thought but doing raunchy shows sucks because, well, I don't want to do fookin' raunchy shows even though that definitely draws an audience. That's not why I did it but I noticed the effect and thought, well, this ain't too bad, is it.
Maybe it sounds demeaning to women referring to them as young chiquitas but, screw that, the stage is primal. We're monkeys who somehow make music. The reactions to it are as primal as anything gets except getting all monkey with each other, hopefully out of sight of other monkeys. There are all kinds of intellectual aspects to music but at the root of it ... still sex. That's no blazing revelation but it puts an odd twist on the song.
This li'l soliloquy is the post-jams buzzmentation of what happened from playing and "The Sanctuary Song" isn't going to give up any raw sex but "Hey Baby" is nothing but sexy. It's not porno movie sex but rather blaze in the sun communion kind of sex. When he's asking her to cross the bridge and we're clear the Rainbow Bridge isn't dying and going to Heaven ... where do you think he is asking her to go.
After looking going back into the lyrics, I see they already cover the link from "The Sanctuary Song" to "Hey Baby"
Just leave it behind (i.e. clothes, any sense of morality, etc)
you won't need it here
Come feel the love (i.e. come feel all of that love, baybeeee)
you've nothing to fear (i.e. nope, ain't nothin' to fear in this)
anymore (i.e. not like back there where all those creepshows were)

This isn't going to be some old guy trying pitifully to be sexy but the song shouldn't run away from it either. The above is not overt and it provides a good enough link for the connection to be there so that means I don't have to do nothin'. Just play it.
"Hey Baby" has to be in it. The Great God Mescalito has spoken and all he said was 'that would be cool' but that's enough. It must be so.

I would use in on the inside of the house or direct it on you front porch in combo with the fog maker for a cool effect in your video!! Wish I were there with you!! Love, ML
It would be so great if you could tangle with this stuff down here too. That would be supremely cool and I know you would have a field day with it!
