Plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead

Episode 4 of Seamus.TV – The Musician’s Guide To Giving It A Red Hot Go, with me, Seamus Anthony.

(notes below)

I recorded a new post but Gremlins got into the video file so I decided to post this instead. Basically it is me, last night (very late) jammin’ out a new riff/song. It’s a fly on the wall look at my songwriting process in progress, and I think it sounds alright :-)

I guess if there is any kind of take away point to help other musicians in this it’s to note that I very often sacrifice warmth and sleep to come out to the Office of Imagination & Procedure (which is cold and drafty) and jam until very late. I don’t get to just jam all day whenever I want (family man and all) but you HAVE to make time for it or your skills and your art wither. There’s plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead.

Enjoy, I will be back with more prattling next week no doubt, but for today, it’s music time.

(Interesting how less self-conscious I feel about this; I am much more confident about my abilities as a musician than as a public speaker / vlogger!)
