Three Blind Babes (and a couple of dogs...)
There are some days in the studio where you can only say, “Well, that was one for the record books.”
Last Monday (August 10) we welcomed to the studio the “Three Blind Babes” (a temporary group moniker of their own invention), Asli, Judy, and Alicia.
We also made room for two of their guide dogs, Judy's dog Sachet, and Asli's dog Jane. (Now wouldn't it have been a weird thing if Jane were Judy's dog? It would have been as though a blind woman named June had a guide dog named Wally...)
Playing bass on the session was our good friend Spike Dean.
They all came over to record a new song written by Asli, “Renew Your Heart.” This was to be the theme song for the counseling service “Renewing Hearts” which is headed by Alicia.
Needless to say, this session was a logistical challenge, especially with three dogs in the house. We eventually had to sequester Abby Rhodes upstairs so that she wouldn't be tempted to try and play with the well-trained and admirably quiet “working dogs.”
The four musicians involved, (Asli on guitar and vocals, Spike on bass, and Judy and Alicia on vocals) were very well prepared, so once we got the dogs settled down, everything flowed smoothly.
I just finished mixing the song this morning. Hope they like it! They all did a great job.
Asli, Alicia, Judy
