STUDIO DAY #15
Today was indeed a long long day. What is normally a 35 minute drive to the studio in the morning took 2 1/2 hours. In downtown Dallas an industrial site exploded from continuous gas canisters igniting off each other. This caused various pieces of debri to fly about, making the city shut down several of the main highways next to the fire. This meant the only way to get where you wanted to go was through back roads. I took a guess, like many-a-people did, and just kind of drove toward where I was going and finally I got to the studio around noon. Luckily the drive home wasn't as bad, it only took an hour and fifteen minutes.
Apart from the sitting in traffic today, we had a productive time in the studio working with Josh Goode on keys/piano parts for the album. The songs are really starting to solidify now. Things are coming together and I'm getting excited. You should be too! Out of 12 of the tracks on the album I'd have to say 12 of them are hit singles. That means this album will blow your mind with a musical explosion to the likes of which you will never forget. But I digress...
After working with Josh, Toby went back to work on shakers and tambourine parts. This means that when I'm making liner notes for the album, Toby's credit shall read: Toby Pipes - Shakourine. I also enjoyed drawing a picture of Amy Winehouse and writing her a fan letter.
And now for the moment you wait for each and every day... the video...
