Okay, I had to do this because I suggested it in my post about the re-recorded version of this song. I just threw the new recording and the original together in the same file and this is what you get. I like it. Now I guess if I could just clone myself I’d have a perfect roadshow.

Rewritten Song: Mismanaged (version 2)
This week’s rewritten song is a little different. Most times I try to rework the music, and a lot of the time I rework the words for these re-recordings.
For this one, though, I did nothing. It’s exactly like the original.
Go listen to the first recording from 2011 and compare. You could even play them at the same time. That’d be interesting. I was just wondering…how has my voice changed in the past 2 years? How has the way I play guitar changed?
Or have I not changed at all.
My guess is I played this one pretty similar to back in 2011 because I really liked it back then. I had plans to perform it live but never did. I think because I never finished it. Always felt it needed a final verse to kind of tie everything together. Maybe that’s why I called it “Mismanaged.” I just didn’t do so well at getting around to putting any time into it.
Well, anyway, I added a final verse. So I guess it’s a little different than the first version. This also makes it different from other re-recordings in that you’ll need to listen all the way through the whole song to hear what’s different about it.
I wonder who’ll make it. I wonder who made it to even reading this paragraph.

New Song: Duck on a Rock
Well, here’s another new song that’s a make-up for not posting a new song the week of February 18.
This one is partially inspired by my two kids, Gus and Della. And partially inspired by the game Duck on a Rock.
I was thinking about both and so I just jammed them together. And then I added some background noise. I wonder if anyone can guess what all the sounds are?

Rewritten Song: You got nothing for me (version 2)
This re-recording of the song I wrote and recorded in 2011 took approximately under 17 minutes. Proving the point that any song can be made into a three-quarter time ballad. Results may vary, but it can be done. And done quickly.
I think this probably actually is better than the original. But you be the judge. Your eye is so much more critical than my eye.
And then it was bedtime.
I’ll put together my new songs starting tomorrow. I have to do four to get caught up. Two are pretty much done and I just need to work them up on the guitar. Another one I’ve been thinking about for a few weeks. I’ve probably over-thought it at this point, but I’m still going to attempt it. Then I have to pull one more out of thin air. I usually like to reach for those type of songs near oak trees.

Rewritten Song: 53 Weeks (version 2)
Here’s the re-recorded version of the song I first wrote and recorded way back on March 7, 2011. Check out the original here. It’s not much of a departure, I guess. I’m just getting through some work tonight that I’ve been putting off for the past few weeks.
Still have a re-record of this tune to do.
And also four new songs to write from the past month of missing my weekly deadline. THIS is the week that I catch up and get back on track. (Probably that’s like someone saying, “THIS is the week I quit smoking!” or “THIS is the week that I dust off my figure skates and do that triple axel!”
It’s somewhere in between those two.
