days 41 and 42 "the making of......"

sorry, i was too tired to blog last night, so will put yesterday and today's blog together. well, yesterday being the 2nd and last day in the studio was so inspirational. i got chills hearing reggie and gadson playing their hearts out especially on this one song of mine, a song that not many people have heard before; it's very funky, and made me feel so alive and excited as we were recording it, wow. reggie's bass playing on it was sick!!! he was really into it, i could tell the way he was kicking his leg out and his eyes were virtually rolling back in his head, woahhhhhhhhh!! so amazing. his whole body becaume his bass. it was so incredible it was bringing tears to my eyes and is now just thinking about it again. everyone did a great job. mike thompson was also fantastic. he did some variations on some of my chords for this one new song of mine that really made it complete and took it somewhere i could not have taken it even though he complimented me on my piano playing on the demo. that was very kind of him! he is amazing. and so was jon cleary. i was happy he was able to come back yesterday and play again. but he could only do one song as he had a gig with john schofield at the hollywood bowl here in los angeles last night.
it's always so much fun recording, being in a proper studio; i feel like i'm in a safe little time capsule, created solely for my musical pleasure and excitement and it's a real escape. the yucky part is after the excitement, the next day. i always feel a little down; although this time, there wasn't really enough time to make me feel so let down as it was only 2 days of escape!! it's a similar feeling when i've been on the road for a month. you're all filled with adrenaline for four weeks, you come home and you don't really know what to do with yourself. then, one can find themselves feeling a bit depressed. such is life, the highs and the lows; and for two days this week, i was on an incredible high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
john had to take a friend of his up to canada today and he'll be back early next week. when he returns, we will continue working on the tracks. we may keep some of my vocals, but i personally would like to do them properly. i already recorded all my acoustic guitar parts yesterday evening after the band left for the day.

today, i just chilled out and took care of some business stuff. feeling very tired, so i'm gonna go to bed.

thanks for tuning in!

love always;
