Song-A-Day Shopping List

By: Chris Greacen - 01/17/2009
Just a few weeks left before we start the 2009 Song-A-Day festivities (a.k.a. 29 Songs). Looks like I really need to clean out the garage and the website before this gets going.

Maybe I can pick up a few things to help things along this year too. Here's a shopping list I jotted-down on the BART one night this week:

• batteries! Mostly for the tuner, but I'll play around with different sounds a bit more this year.
• strings for the acoustic guitar.
• sm57: snare sounds have been lame. Maybe this'll help? Maybe properly tuning my snare will help more.
• midi controller: I'd love to play with one of these.
• Another samson mic to record in stereo (from the road).
• a proper mic stand for the kick drum. I lost mine somewhere along the way.
• A piano. I meant to get one at some point in '08, mostly for the girls. I used to play a little, would love to have one in the family.

What am I forgetting?

If you have any interest at all in joining the fray, please shoot me a note. As you can see this is a great excuse to go out and buy some gear. Your spouse will surely agree.
