Recording is so much fun. Sure, it’s tiring, and thinking of all the money being spent can be, well, anxiety-provoking. But it’s the best. There’s nothing I’d rather be spending summer hours doing — it even beats the beach.
Spent last weekend up in Woodstock recording basic guitar and piano tracks at Mark Dann’s beautiful studio. The other day, Cheryl Prashker came up from Philly to Mark’s Tribeca NYC studio to lay down drums while Mark plucked away on the bass. I’m getting ready to do some serious vocal work next week, while Thad Debrock is preparing to do some tasteful multi-instrument overdubs in his Williamsburg home studio and Pat Wictor is going to show up the last week of July and two a couple of slide guitar tracks. Finally, I’ll be adding my own harmonies to a few tunes and inviting good friends Carolann Solebello and Meg Braun to add their lovely voices to a couple of songs.
After that, some final mixing and off to the printer! I hope to have CDs in hand sometime in September. Then, I’ll already be dreaming about the next time I get to record…ahh…that’s how it goes…
