The songwriting process is going somewhat smoothly thanks to David Parks, guitarist and manager. He has completed 3 songs which he hopes to perfect and practice in the near future. Meanwhile, the search for a drummer continues, as well as the possibility of a bassist.
Recording gear, the current greatest necessity, is not looking very close in range. The expected recording gear bundle, meaning the least expensive of the good kits, costs exactly $265. Not exactly cheap, but a very good deal. Without funding of any sort, of course, the estimated saving period will be approximately 3-8 months. Jeez... hopefully somebody will win the lottery by then.
