Day #106 - #119 - La Smooch Practices + Writing Sessions

So, on a whim, I decided to help Shane (my brother) get a step closer to having a full band by agreeing to play bass for him. Which at first was just for fun, but now I sort of see spanning out as a realistic endeavour for the future.
As such, I've spent A LOT of time practicing with him or re-writing some of the bass lines in my own time. A rough 13 days at least, though it could be more or less frankly. It's been class though. So far, 5 songs are more or less down. "Rock Bottom", "Granola Bar", "Here Comes The Son", "Paul Anka" and an untitled fifth song.
Shane writes most of the music himself, being guitarist and vocalist, and even has harmonies prepared for the most part. It's great to take a sort of backseat and get used to an instrument I'm not all too familiar with playing. 

But yes, 13 days of awesome music. I could upload some rough takes, but I think I'll leave them, it's not really my place.
