Much to Do, Much to Do…
Just taking a quick break so that I can put something in this blog!
This is one of those times when I feel like I’m deep underwater and swimming frantically towards the surface, hoping I don’t run out of air before I get there.
I’m working on several projects at once, and they all have the same deadline: yesterday!
(Or at least that’s how it seems.)
But fortunately, no one is angry or complaining, everyone is waiting patiently, and I will get everything done.
As I write this in the upstairs office, the CD writer in the studio is busily burning audio files for Jim McDonald’s new CD. I have to keep going down to check on the progress, and start the burning process for each new song.
For Jim’s project I recorded the basic tracks here, and am sending CDs of .wav files (one file for each part of each song, such as piano, bass, guitar, etc.) so that he can use them in the studio in San Diego California, where he will record his vocals and mix.
I’m also working on basic tracks for Kevin Watson’s new project. He has already done one CD with us.
We’re also working with a new client, Sharon Osuna, who writes very clever songs and until now has never recorded in a professional studio. I love helping musicians learn about the recording process first-hand.
I’m producing some accompaniment tracks for a dear friend of mine. This lady has cut my hair for the last 20 years! She’s recently started taking voice lessons, and uses the tracks I create for her for rehearsal and performance.
“Crazy Roy” Thomas is waiting for me to work on the final three songs for his new CD. He comes in and sings and plays guitar, and then leaves it up to me to add the band around him. It’s a bit of a challenge to work this way, but it’s great fun.
I’m also creating MIDI sequences for Tony Martin, an entertainer from Vero Beach, Florida. These are standard MIDI files that he plays through his general MIDI keyboard while he sings. He entertains folks in Country Clubs, retirement centers and other venues throughout the Vero Beach area. I will eventually supply Mr. Martin with over 100 such sequences.
HOT COCOA is coming back on April 28 to do some more recording. These four ladies are always fun to work with!
Also on April 28th, Kevin Browne will be releasing his new CD “Scenery” which we had the privilege of recording here. He’ll be giving a free concert at Christ Community Church on 4/28 at 7PM. The church is located at the corner of Garden and Carpenter in Titusville, just off highway 95.
Well, I think it’s time to go down and check on the CD burner.

Phew...you're wearing me out with your calendar!
I bet you're glad I'm giving you a break at the moment! When the dust settles, I'll come
a-callin'! Ain't it wonderful?
