oh...ooo...oh...oh....

it's been a busy week and a half for me...



let's start with last tuesday.


i got to play at my favorite venue in the city-myth. it's become a staple visit of mine pretty much every tuesday...i set up my system and everything by myself for the first time...thanks to some help from brian the bartender...and soundcheck help from two of my fabulous friends...

and the night went quite well. it was a larger crown than usual...which is always positive...and i talked to a guy who runs an organization here in town for artists of all types (he even considers farming an art...only in nebraska)




then thursday i got to go in and lay down some more vocal tracks for the project...it went really well...got a lot of work done on three of the songs...includeing some crazy doo doop doo doop'ing on one of the songs....


i'm starting to get very exicted....


then tonight i got to go back into the studio...to finish up a song called johnny...
it's a song that has been really hard for me to do vocals for-mostly cause i am having a hard time connecting to the song...(it's the only song i've ever written that wasn't inspired by anything...well...inspirational...

but tonight something clicked.

at the suggestion of my producer, i listened to a little shawn colvin this week to get a feel for what he was thinking for the song...and something inside me connected with an idea for the song. then we were trying to figure out background-ish vocals and after about a half hour...i got it...a little oh here...a little ooo there...


anywho...i'm now done with vocal tracking and we have only guitar on one song...strings on two...mixing and mastering to get done...



it's looking like february might actually happen:)
