I was thinking that maybe my holiday song,”The Christmas Door” was already a Hallmark or maybe Lifetime Christmas movie, but when I searched it, I found a painting by Nita Leger Casey.

I’m placing it on the back burner (but not on the fire) for now – maybe I’ll finish it for next Christmas.

I decided to take a little time to try some midi drums. I hooked up my keyboard to my laptop via USB and found an Ableton Live tutorial to make the attempt. The good news was that the software recognized my keyboard & I was able to hear drum sounds when I hit the correct keys. That seemed to be the end of my success for the moment. Even though I saw some that some information was saved in the midi track within the DAW, I was not able to play it back.

 

A little frustrated, but I’ll get it.

Be well.
