Welcome to Episode 170 of my podcasts, the view from the crow's nest. It is Saturday fifth of December 2020. Yeah. Today is a bit of a day off on account of being a Saturday. I decided to take it in little bit easy. So that meant. Personal Training, this morning was pushed back to your town. So it was meant to be 30, push back to 10. And that basically means my entire morning gone so I thought when that happened I thought, you know what I'm not gonna stress about it. I had a good session. So that was all good. And then after that, I, I found this programme. I mean, I've seen this programme or seen of this programme a couple years ago forgot all about it. And it's Brian Johnson of AC DC it's called a life on the road, where he interviews. Basically, other people from very successful bands. So in the first season, there was six episodes I think he interviewed sting Roger Daltrey Robert Plant, Nick Mason, Lars Ulrich, and Joe Elliott. And if I watch music related stuff like documentaries or whatever in the evening that I can never sleep, and often feel bad about it. I can't they kind of put me in a blue mood because I think I've not done. You know what I wanted to do music, etc. So I thought, you know what, let me watch it during the day. So seminar set to watch it over lunch. And we watched the Robert plan and then then it makes another really good, really, really enjoyed that. So it was a good way to start there or to start the day to do it by that point it was like three o'clock and then as I write. I, I'm going to do music house inspired. So I came into the room fired up the computer thought I was gonna actually work on the album, and they're flashy, you know what, I kinda don't really fancy that, let me, practice my songs. So, I practice the seven songs that I've been practising and started learning and eighth and the eighth is a song called Mary, that I wrote a month ago something like that. And I don't have a proper recording of it I don't want to record a religious lease just a video of it that I can put in the lab. Mr cool is kind of reminds me a little bit of a kind of 80s Stadium anthem track. Yeah, okay, big hair rock track singalong type thing. And this nice little song. So I did that by the time I finished that it's basically like whatever four or five o'clock I did. I recorded all six of the, all the songs that I. It's all seven of the songs, because I was learning the eighth that I did I'm going to watch them off this podcast actually uh see if I've made any improvements, but I feel that I have improving my, my vocal technique. My pitching because I tend to sing flat and I feel that I'm starting to sing a bit more closer to the centre, the note I'm trying to get to. And my vocal control is better my ranges. Arrange is pretty good now. But more importantly is pretty good in a controlled way whereas previously I could hit notes occasionally but I blocked my voice too quick. Maybe it's because I'm doing things, relatively quietly, because I'm in the flat. And I'm not you know with a band and therefore it's easier not to blow up my voice, maybe it's not performing in front of people, so it's easier not to push myself that much I don't know but hopefully I'm building a good foundation to start gigging next year which has the plan, you know, twofold one to get out in public, and well three photos at once, get out in public and kick to, to make some live music videos that I can use for marketing. And for my for my fans. And the third is because I want to try and do maybe a monthly probably live stream eventually concert. Something I've never done shied away from, and I got to put on my big boy pants and start doing it. And so, that's part of my 2021 really focusing on the music. So, yeah, I feel good about that. Then, basically. How's the day, more or less. It's quite early now half nine I'll go into bed and watch those videos and then try and get an early night and wake up tomorrow energised and having had a good sleep
