What sounded okay yesterday came through the headphones as unacceptable last night [regarding “How Much Is Enough?”]- even as I’m sketching out this stuff, I need to have some minimum standards. 🙂
I realized that it was, mostly, that the drum track was at odds with everything else. After a little time spent trying to fix it – and then a little more trying to re-record, I decided to just omit the track. I took the bass level down a notch & bumped the organ track up ever so slightly. The result is something with which I can live for the raw item which I’ve called a “Sketchmo.” As my good friend Dave (davidhusted.com) noted, it’s time for me to start spinning these rough sketches & demos into true, polished (Polish Ed?) songs.
I have added the updated version of How Much Is Enough? (link below), My Logic (Sketch with Stylophone) & even my ukulele track – All the Ice Cream You Want – to my demo playlist (link i also available below) for a total of 15 tracks. I’ve toyed with the order a bit, but it was a quick jostling.
From here on out I aim to present only polished (Polish Ed?) material. I will probably post incomplete, in-progress items, but I hope each will be a musical amuse-bouche.

I am hearing the following pattern through-out Em-D-Bm7 which I like with your current bass track.
I would also recommend a switch up (to a chorus?) using something like A-G-D-Em. but that is just what my ears hear and I know they are not your ears : )….cheers….
Good recommendation. I’ll take it under consideration when I get back to this one. Thanks!
