most of you know how and when i began my recording adventures. for those who don't i will sum it up in a few sentences. went to Festival of the Rockies - competed - met Billy Smiley (he is a producer, not a used car salesman) - spent time co-writing with Billy for first ep - went to Nashville - recorded with amazing studio musicians - came out with my first ep a few months later.
i am glad i had that experience. i would have changed a few things, ok, more than a few....however, i would not be writing songs, playing shows, and recording again if i had not been at the Festival and met dear Billy.
now to the present: a few weeks ago, a second recording began. my fantastic guitar player, Marc, and great, inventive drummer, Ryan, are engineering and producing the record. we have the basics of four songs done...a few more to go...and then on to vocals, tambourine, claps, bells, and fun. Ryan has been blessed (i won't go into how bitter i am) with a beautiful 73' Rhodes. it sounds like magic....real magic. i might steal it.
we are having great fun. i cannot wait for all to hear.
sidenote: i have yet to see Marc or Ryan wear shoes while recording. they run around to and fro with their bare feet tagging along. it is quite hilarious.
also: thank you to Claire (Ryan's lovely wife) for letting Marc and i borrow him for this project!

What? How have I not been recruited to clap and ring bells?!?!
haha. you're welcome! it makes for a much saner, happier Ryan when he has the chance to do something musical once a week.
so thank youu! :)
