Every time I listen to my Beatles compilation, I come across more songs that define what life is about.

Lennon/McCartney, where would the world be without you guys?

This particular song has stuck with me throughout the day, so I thought I’d share.

Song: Tomorrow Never Knows
Album: Revolver

+++++
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream,
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

That you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

That ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not living, it is not living

Or play the game “Existence” to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
+++++

Dare I say, Tomorrow Never Knows is arguably the best damn song ever produced in the 60’s.

Nami & I went click-happy at the Chihuly exhibit at the Fairchild Gardens (Miami, FL).

It’s good we had tripods, else these would have been a disaster.

I finally got a chance to record a couple of guitar riffs.

Setup: Epiphone Les Paul Studio -> Line 6 Spider II 15 Amp -> Cowon A2

Recording these tunes and playing them back helps me assess how far I’ve progressed (not as far as I want). Particularly, I notice that I need to play a little “cleaner,” since some of these transitions don’t sound as smooth as I want them to be.

Also, I’m not very impressed with the quality of the recording. I felt as though the tone was damaged coming through the Cowon. Might have to do something like recording directly through my Sound Blaster Audigy card next time.

For now, though, these will suffice. Give them a listen.
