More Tracking Days.....
I spent every day last week in the studio working on the new album with some great players. On the bass is my good friend Greg Roth. It's hard to believe that Greg and I have been working together for 14 years now! He has always been my go-to-guy when it comes to studio work. This week I also had Jim Andrews in to add some of his great sax work to the project. I think he will be on five of the songs. Also had the great singer Kathy Lyons and Burt Kimbrall in this week to do a quick side project. Since I am taking a few minutes to write, let me tell you about a funny movie I saw last night, "Hamlet 2". It's a comedy about a washed up actor who becomes an even worse high school drama teacher. He is told the drama department will be eliminated so he decides to put on his sequel to Hamlet. Funny and irreverent for sure. There were only three other people in the theatre! Pray for New Orleans and Louisiana! Gustav is coming fast and he's fired up!
日中の他のトラッキング..... 私は毎日使用済み先週のスタジオでニューアルバムに取り組んでいくつかの素晴らしい選手です。上の低音は私の良き友人グレッグロートです。グレッグのは難しいと考えていると私一緒に働いてきた14年間を今すぐプレイ!彼はずっと私の男に行くとなるとスタジオの仕事です。今週のジムアンドリュースで私も彼の偉大なサックスを追加する作業をいくつかのプロジェクトを作成します。と思うに彼は5つの曲です。キャシーライオンズも偉大な歌手とバートkimbrall 、この週間以内にこれを行うに簡単なサイドプロジェクトを作成します。以来私は撮影した数分後に書き込み、おかしなことを教えてあげようさせて映画を見た昨日の夜、 "ハムレット2 "です。それは喜劇俳優whoなるまで約1洗って、ドラマをいっそう悪化させる高等学校の先生です。彼は、ドラマ部門は廃止されるので、彼を身につけなければ彼の続編を決定ハムレットです。不遜な面白いとは確かです。他の人々があっただけで3つの劇場!ルイジアナ州ニューオーリンズのための祈りと!ギュスターヴ迅速かつ彼の解雇が来る!

Almost there from here!
Man, this is a lot of WORK! But it's really fun at the same time. I thought I would show you some pics of the guys at work the last few days. On top is Chris Gardner piano extraordinaire reading a chart yesterday. He is amazing when it comes improvising and understanding my wacky songwriting skills. Next, is Bomani during a late night session the other evening. He has a killer attack on the drums I am sure you will like when you hear him. Check him out at his myspace page http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=49788229 . Be sure to tell him I said "yo". Both of these guys had to work fast and get home. Bomani, because he and his wife are expecting another child (yesterday) and Chris because we have tropical storm Fay coming and he has make sure the generator works so his family wont be in the dark while he is performing at his gig tonight..LOL!
See ya!
男は、これは、たくさんの仕事!しかし、それは本当に楽しいは、同じ時間です。と思った私はいくつかの写真を表示する人職場での最後の数日間です。クリスガードナーは非凡なピアノの上にグラフを読んで昨日のです。彼は素晴らしいとなると理解を私の頭のおかしい即興作詞作曲の知識が必要です。次に、深夜のセッション中にはbomani 、他の夕方です。彼には、キラー攻撃にはドラムに私は確信するようなときは聞いていた。彼は彼のmyspaceページをチェックアウトhttp://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=49788229です。を教えてくれる、私によると、必ず"ヨ"です。これらの人が仕事の両方の高速で家に帰る。 bomaniため、彼と彼の妻は別の子供を期待(昨日)とクリスフェイので、熱帯性低気圧が来ると彼は彼のことを確認してジェネレータの作品のでご家族wontにインザダークながら彼は舞台で彼のギグ今夜.. lol ! じゃあね!

I need a shave and a bowl of Captain Crunch!


Just a couple more 18 hour days in the studio and I will have the latest project in the can! However, I'm not alone on the mix, I have my buddy "Max the weiner dog" (see photo below) to keep my ears honest. This one will be a little different than the last project for sure. I am excited about the bottom on this one too (meaning the rhythm section) as I have been working with a drummer named Bomani from the Hello People.


Also, I'm in the middle of another Lucky Henry project with Donnie Morgan and Greg Roth that should be real cool. Then, there are the songs that I have been sitting on for a while that were supposed to be on the follow up to "Unstoppable" with my friend Kasim Sulton. I've just gotta let that hen out too! I feel like Michael Phelps only without the gold medals and TV time. My plate is full, just not with tasty yellow cereal!Hooray for the US Olympians!!!
