A Guide to Recording as a Parent With Small Child

Here are my steps to recording music when you're the parent of a small child:

1. Come up with a great riff and melody.
2. Start to record it.
3. Realize your child is doing something enormously stupid.
4. Deal with it.
5. Come back six or seven hours later.
6. Realize you've recorded the bass line and forgotten the melody.
7. Give up.

Hey, I didn't say it was steps to successful recording.
