I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it, but Ged did in 1 day what takes mere mortals at least 2.
All 9 tracks of the album which he was to play on were done between 10-6.30pm on Friday. That's multiple tracking of Mandolins/Dobro/Lap Steel and Electric. Dave Miles from Sunpowere was pretty good too and kept the machine rolling and the new tracks moving. All the microphone placements, all the EQ, EVERYTHING.
I am truly blessed.
The album is really sounding good now
If you are listening to the music page you won't hear the Mandolins yet on Watchin the rain.
We all went to the wine bar on Friday and met up with Fiona and Andi, watched Rumour Mill then retired back to my place for a big party and jam. I think Fi and me were singing Romeo and Juliet [Dire Straits] and Bron Sugar VERY loudly at 1am in the morning whilst Andi and Ged were playing Dobro/Guitar. Hope the neighbours liked it.
VERY seedy in the morning and then Fi and me had to play the 6 hour gig at Rylstone.
VERY tired but a good big week all round.
Met up with our man with the lense Mark Chatterton to start filming the 2-3 film clips.
VERY exciting and its all coming together.
