working voices

It's been a really great change of pace to be working in the basement instead of the studio, though I am starting to miss the music. When I began my basement project, it was in part because I had been wanting to for a while, but also because I didn't have a song idea that was jumping out at me that I was excited about. I always have ideas - my list never seems to get shorter - but they all require the collection of more words and voices from various places which is not always an easy task (of course, this basement project will help with that!).
So I wasn't sure what I wanted to tackle next. And then when I was looking through work related documents - trying to find a document that I had hoped at one point would be worth lots of money but is now worth no more than a small tax write-off - I found something which instantly turned into a very cool idea for my next song.
I'm not going to give it away entirely, but this song is about me; about me at work, specifically, so it will include many of the important voices from my workplace. And it's going to be funny. Hopefully really funny; and it will be if I can just do the material justice.
I began collecting voices at work last week while my boss wasn't looking. And then I realized it was imperative that I had my boss's voice too, so I guess he is now onto me, but whatever. If I make him famous, he'll forgive me, right Ron? No one tell him about this blog though, or I could be in BIG trouble.
Now I just hope that I can figure out how to divide my time tomorrow between the basement and the studio...
