Songs Online

As part of my new resolve (slowly developing but there) to get myself and the music in my life organized and brought back to life I've started with setting up a new myspace account for musicians. They allow 4 songs hosted for free, though they're not available to download, so now people who've been asking me about the ever illusive "CD" can listen online for now. I'm hoping this will help inspire me to get more songs recorded and to do a better job this time than I did the last. After a very quickly assembled and less than best "demo" in the summer of 2004 I have become wary of trying to get such a thing pulled together again on my own, but I'll be putting some work into the process one way or another.
As part of the School of Worship in Los Angeles, which I am currently applying for, I'll be able to write and record a song for the school album. Real time in a professional studio and getting to see a song of mine go beyond my own personal musicianship will be a goal come to life. Getting to play with a band downt here also will be a huge learning experience, as my past collaborations were few and far between. I have so little experience playing with other musicians and actually developing a song I've written from chords and words to a real song that I'm sure I don't even know where to begin. However the opportunity is exactly what I've been hoping for. The application should be fully sent by the beginning of next week and then I should hear whether I'm accepted shortly after that.
Yeah, for the longest time I was convinced that SoW was just not the thing for me. It's both funny and ironic the way that God chooses to correct our attitudes, and just how well He does know our true needs and desires.
