Touring Muscians – A Family Affair

| November 26, 2006

What a week! It started on Monday by driving to Delta to watch and join pianist Joy Myers and flutist Donna Wissinger perform. Joy Myers is my mom. I had a very small part in the performance. Though I enjoyed being a part of it, I got the most enjoyment out of seeing my mom [...]

Nugget to get vocal credits

| November 19, 2006

My wife is pretty pleased that her dog Nugget made a guest appearance on the recording. I guess we will have to include him in the vocal credits now. I am anxious to hear the rough mixes with all of the new parts added!

New CD Coming Together Nicely

| November 15, 2006

It has been a long day of recording. I redid some of my parts and then shuffled off to Lyons to record Sally Van Meter. Did I mention that she RIPS on dobro? Then, back home to record my sister’s violin, viola, and vocal harmonies. (My wife says she has a fever….and the only prescription [...]

Recording the CD…

Jim Gilmour arrives in town later this evening. We will have two long days in the studio together before he needs to head back home to Vermont. I am lucky and thankful to have him here, even if it is brief. Amos and I busted a move on the studio space which, though it still [...]

We had an enthusiastic crowd which always makes me smile. I play electric bass in this combo. Tomorrow my wife and I will paint the [...]

Home Again

| November 10, 2006

Recording in Nashville was a hoot! Wow! It sure is amazing how many great musicians are there. The energy is contagious and everywhere I went I could hear people talking about writing, performing, and playing music. I look forward to going back in December to do some more recording for this new CD. My buddy [...]

Nashville

| November 6, 2006

It is great to be in Nashville again. This trip is short, though, and I don’t have much time to reconnect with old friends. Yesterday was a long day in the studio. My buddy Tom Larson cut drum tracks to nine of the songs so far. Tomorrow we’ll continue with drums, percussion, pedal steel, and [...]
