Its Saturday morning and I woke up feeling guilty on 2 fronts. A) I miss my dog and b) I’m well overdue on the blog front. So here I sit, OJ in hand and because my computer won’t go anywhere without its power cable, stuck inside while Tom and B enjoy this beautiful day we’re [...]

Messages From Guitar Heaven
What is there really to say about the last couple of days? Guitar Heaven has continued, led by our very own Jesus. It began with him laying a flurry of electric rhythm tracks which thickened up the sound immensely. The bass and acoustic tracks I’d been grilling over the past few days [...]

We were graced with a serious bonus last night. We’d all but given up hope that Gregg was going to be able to come back to the studio before Saturday. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, but because of other commitments on the home front, OT and our Greg were leaving today and Greg still had [...]
Moore Time Off…

With Gregg sidetracked by the Gary Moore project, we’ve had a couple of days to sit back and enjoy some more surprisingly good London weather. On Tuesday, Greg and T2 went into the city to do some shopping and stuff. The rest of us just kicked back and did our own thing. I took a [...]

Today went by in the blink of an eye. I knew my role right from the get-go. Get the rhythm tracks done today. Shouldn’t be tough. I banged out 3 songs on Friday night and upon a second listen, they still sounded great Monday morning… Mind you the 3 I did on Friday were all [...]
Le Weekend…

Another weekend gone by. I’m amazed by everyone’s focus on this project. We’re on schedule, possibly ahead, we get 2 days off, the weather is gorgeous and none of us have any desire to leave The Glade unless its for more food, candy and/or beer. If you’ve ever seen the Chili Peppers’ doc, ‘Funky Monks’ [...]

With just 2 more songs to drum out, we were feeling pretty good about ourselves this morning. Mainly because we were still on schedule, not that there really is one, but coming over here we’d hoped to be done bass and drums in 4 days. Today was day 5, but we really only spent a [...]

Today actually went really smoothly. We’re now used to the fact that there are going to be hang-ups so by now they don’t faze us at all. Before I’d even got to the studio, OT had polished the bass on ‘Wait For You’. I need to hear more added to this one before I’ll be [...]
Middle-8’s, Bridges, Whatever, Cont…

Just adding a note on Middle-8’s. A few people have written me still unclear with what one is… The best one I can think of off the top of my head would be the part in Weezer’s ‘Say It Ain’t So’ where the lines are, “Dear Daddy, I write you inspite of years of silence…” [...]

Well I was sorta right with my prediction yesterday. ‘Back To Me’ proved to be our most challenging work of the day. It wasn’t the playing though. More so the approach. Actually, before I get into it, I should point out that the weather since we got here has been phenomenal. Sunny days and reasonable [...]
