It Was My Birthday, and I Shall Rock If I Want To
Know what I did for fun on my birthday?
I toured a recording studio. A) I've never been to a "real" one, and 2) Blue Funk is talking about making a demo or an album, so I wanted to get the studio owner's perspective on what it takes, as well as what kind of gear he had. This guy has worked with Tony Vega, Mighty Orq, and Texas Johnny Brown among others, so he definitely has some cred!
After the tour, Lori and I went to lunch, and we talked further about what it would take and what the band should do before we go into a studio. Then we visited a friend who is also a musician, and talked more about music and our bands.
For years, I always avoided work on my birthday. Whether it was taking a day off from my job, or just avoiding it when I worked for myself as a web developer, my birthday was a day to not work, and not talk about it. This is the first time in years I've done "work" on my birthday, because my work is music and I love it and I live for it.
