Just a short note to let you know that I'm very close to finishing my very first solo CD with Billy Worley co-producing as well as playing many many parts and instruments plus being a huge help keeping the project on track through several major snow storms and being available to me, Pat Lawrence and Robbie Wells to help bring this project home before we leave.
I recut almost all of the vocals in 3 or so hours this afternoon which is amazing in anyone's experience but particularly regarding how well they all turned out. Robbie adds mandolins to 2 more tracks tomorrow and then we mix it Tuesday night and I master it Wednesday and Thursday it goes to Bright Images to be duplicated where the sleeves await the CDs and I'll have it ready to take to France before we leave!
Mere words are not adequate to express the respect and awe I hold Billy Worley, Pat Lawrence, and Robbie Wells in and gratitude and love I have for them caring for my music like they did on this project. I'm belaboring the point here I guess as they have ALWAYS taken such great care with our band and brought so much into our lives by just being who they are and playing the way they play.
Truly some of the absolute finest musicians and people we've ever known.
I'm so happy now I don't know if I'll be able to sleep much tonight. What a day it was in the studio with Billy today! I haven't felt this way since working with my friend and mentor Scott Martin in El Paso, TX, many many years ago. True musical magic is so fleeting and experiencing it has always been a soul stirring revelation for me.
Needless to say, I'll be basking in the warmth of these guys through this project for a long long time....*
How I love them all so............* And how I'll miss them so............*
Love to you all wherever you are.....*
