Most of you know that I like to play guitar and that once upon a time I wrote songs as well (life is too busy now, although for Heidi's b-day wrote my first song in 4 years).

In the past week I've made two discoveries. First, I realized that Heidi's Macbook has a program called Garage Band with a built-in mic that allows me to record songs. I think I knew that when we bought it, then completely forgot and never experimented with it. A friend in the ward showed me how to use it and now I'm ready to make a killer record (or at least make a killer cover of The Wiggles "Big Red Car"). What a find!

As soon as I have a spare 2-3 hours continuously to sit down and record, I'll post something. Keep your eyes out for that song to appear sometime between now and the Summer Olympics (not Beijing, but wherever they're hosting the 2012 games). :)

Second, that same friend showed me how I could host my own songs online through myspace. While I hate myspace and think it's kind of trashy, I created a page this afternoon so I can periodically add my own songs. I posted a song called "Make Your Tomorrow Today" that I wrote and recorded almost 5 years ago now, but it's probably my best work (for what that's worth!).

If you're so inclined, you can listen to it here
