Roadhouse Revival
In just four days it has gone from 1 degree to 65 in Williamstown, Massachusetts. At the far extreme, Iggy was refusing to pee on account of the cold. She would go outside, pretend to pee, and then lunge for the door and the promise of warmth within. Back inside, she'd still have to pee and get antsy. So we'd make her go outside again and the crisis would repeat itself. Eventually we had to exercise some tough love. Now it's warm and Iggy is having no problem taking care of business, but the world is a muddy soup. I took a run in Hopkins Forest today and came back with soggy feet. It is unnatural to walk around Williamstown with no jacket in the heart of January.
Roadhouse Revival, the album I recorded last weekend with Misty Blues, my friend Gina's band, has been recorded and mastered and is currently in production. If you are interested in hearing a cut from the album (featuring yours truly on harp), visit the band's MySpace page. The song posted, Down By the Riverside, is a jaunty, happy tune.
The second day we were in the studio, Gina laid down a few more vocal tracks on this very attractive microphone.
And Jeff, who had not been able to make it the night before, added his guitar throughout the album. As I was preparing to take this photo, he wanted to make certain that the World of Warcraft shirt would be legible.
And this is Greg, who recorded and produced the album, with his very large mixing board.
Though it is difficult for the mind to grasp, apparently Greg knows what to do with all of these knobs.
Here is Misty Blues proper, minus the "special guest" harp and piano players.
In other news, Robbi ate a baked potato for dinner.
And just tonight we prepared the volume 12 mailing.
Subscribers, keep an eye on your mailbox.
