The Making of 2011 Blog 11

They call me the night owl; and for good reason. It's 1:31 am, Friday morning. I've just gotten in from going to a jam to hang with some good friends of mine and got up and sang and played some cool old tunes by Denise LaSalle ["I didn't take your man" which was also recorded by the great Ann Peebles] and a woman named Yvonne Fair [ A song called, "It shoulda been me", very cool, very gospel. And no, it's not the same song Ray Charles did. But Gladys Knight recorded it and her version is very good, what a voice. But Yvonne's Fair's is less slick and I like that, yeah]. The latter I haven't sung for many years but thought of it today and how much fun it would be. And it was....Why is it that I feel so awake right now when I have to be like a normal person and get up at a reasonable hour? I was born at night, some things will never change...

So, tomorrow I'm going to the studio, where mixing is taking place. In fact, tomorrow we will be finished with mixing all 5 songs. I heard a few mixes today that sounded really good, just got to do a little tweaking on one or two of them. And that will be that. Then we shall play them for my publishers.


Wish me luck people, if you're reading this. Send me a comment if you like, let me know what you think, how is your world, what kind of music really inspires you; really makes you think, what makes you feel good, excited, what makes you forget what you wanna forget and remember the times you've treasured? Talk to me!!

Much love;

This is turning into an AMAZING year for me musically. The list of artists and bands I ADORE that are coming out with new material just grows by the day.

Monday of this week, I received my import copy of The Human League's Credo (first album in 10 years), Pre-ordered Blondie's Panic of Girls on Wednesday, Last night found out that Kate Bush is releasing Director's Cut, Howard Jones has new material as does OMD.

I can't wait to hear your new work as well, Marcy.
