Got my little “home office” set up. Working on some stuff that I can play at a coffeeshop open mic sometime soon.

Working on a new Tumblr theme called “Olde Songs”

While walking on the Upper West Side, I came across a man selling a bunch of old books and there among the old books was a faded old binder. I picked it up and it had nearly fifty old songbooks in it, some of them over a hundred years old. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it, but I wanted it so I negotiated with the man for the price of $5.

Recently, after putting together my portfolio site and modifying it to stylize my Tumblr blog, I decided to spend some time developing a theme for other people to use. The working title is “Olde Songs”, in reference to this binder of songbooks I had come across.

“Olde Songs” derives its design from several scans of some of these songbooks, and has a nice, old-timey feel to it. I expect it to be completed by the weekend, be on the lookout.
