Borba: thanks for the vote!
I was a little surprised by how low my second round ranking was, compared to my first round ranking. From my perspective, I put a lot more work into my round 2 song. There are even some non-triad chords in the bridge (for me, an accommplishment). Also, you don’t want to know how many takes the guitar solo took… trying to sound carelessly bad required, paradoxically, being able to play a _good_ solo badly rather than the other way around.
It also leads me to believe that a good percentage of my votes in round 1 may have actually been votes for Joe. Thanks Joe?
Round 3 is not shaping up to be much of anything yet. I think it’s great that Ken gave us an extra weekend, but unfortunately I was not able to make use of it. The whole family was sick. A 16-month old with a temp over 104 (and some vomiting), and two pre-schoolers with fevers themselves. And kind of a crisis of priorities in general. If it were just me, it would be easy to justify spending my free time working on this. As it is, it’s more like “spending my free time on this instead of spending it with the kids is justifiable because ____” (fill in the blank…) OK, you’ve convinced me. But now convince my wife… and the kids…
Off-topic, sorry… anyway, in an attempt to be topical, what JoCo favorite chord did I use in the bridge for “War Criminal?”
