April 22nd 2025 – Totally off direction of Vol 2, but I wrote a additional verse to Ku’u Hom’e O’ Kaha lu’u. 

Tonight was a night to just hang with the Fam. So that’s what I did. It was rad!

April 29th, 2025 – Feeling melancholy tonight. There’s a lot going on in the family. I’ll see what happens. 

Update, it’s midnight. I laid down the lead 1 guitars to Tried So Hard. It was a lot of work to get the vibe for this with an electric. I literally “tried so hard” to get the feel I wanted. It did add a good layer to the song, but I might need to help from Matt Ericson on this one. 

May 6th 2025 – Tonight just before family time (Cuz Micah is here 🙏)   I recorded a lead track to Internal Wars. It helps with the song foundation.  I love the hooks in it. 

May 20th 2025 – All guitar tracks have been recorded. Yes! 

May 27th 2025 – Tonight, is a night where I am going to free flow through all of the guitar tracks, and see if there’s anything else needed to layer. 

June 10th 2025, tonight I continued retracking the guitars on Internal Wars. The first version had something off to it, and I like this new version much better. I’m nearly done with the e guitars, and then I’ll hand the rest of the lead tracks over to Matt E.  I worked hard tonight. Tons of sweat just trying to track these Electric guitars.

June 17th – Tonight before F&B men’s group, I re-tracked Internal Wars to finish up those guitar tracks tonight. I had to start over on this son as the first project of this sucked really bad. Good for me in taking time to redo, becuase this is one of my favorite songs that I wrote for my bride and I want to impress her. LOL!
