the home stretch


STUDIO DAY #14

Back in the studio today. It's good to be back. Now is the time where I start to worry about whether or not we'll get the album done in time. We'll be in the studio every day for the next 8 days (counting today). Todd and Toby assure me we'll get everything done, and I know in the back of mind we're doing just fine. But me being "the artist" - I find it my duty to worry about these things.

We finished doubling vocals for "Overrated" and "It's Not Over" - then finished out the rest of the day doing tambourine parts. This was Toby's domain. Todd bet me $10 that Toby would mention 'Davy Jones Tambourine Camp.' He never did which was kind of a let down. For those of you who don't know who Davy Jones is, go listen to the Monkees (a guilty pleasure for us all).

Tomorrow we'll be tracking some keyboard parts. Joshe Goode of the Josh Goode Band will be laying that down for us. I haven't met him yet, but I'm sure it'll be a good time.
