Days 33 & 34 - At The Magic Shop

I drove down to NYC on Friday, dropped Will off in Bushwick, ate at his excellent local cantina, left the car with him (free street parking) and took a cab to the Wall St Andaz hotel (Priceline bargain) where I... more >

Day 32 - Will's last day, and lots of singing

This last 10 days has not been easy. But we are getting there. Today was my last day in MA before the NYC sessions at the Magic Shop with Joan and Dave. Also my last chance to record Will.

The priority to... more >

Day 31 - The Piano Roll

Yesterday was supposed to be a complete day off, but it wasn't. I had to make rough mixes for a couple of hours in the afternoon and I didn't sleep as well as I would have hoped. This record has pretty ... more >

Day 30 - Two Rooms again

We carry on where we left off, with Blair and I in the small room and Will with Mark in the big one.

Day 24 - New Year's Day

Day 25 - The Rest Day

So we didn't actually record anything yesterday but we figured out lots of things that didn't work... that is progress. Today I was supposed to rest but I'm in the small room with Will's Gretsch... more >

Day 26 - Frank's Birthday

My younger son Frank is 14 today. I get up early to make English pancakes (thinner, more like crepes) and sit a while as he opens presents. But I'm exhausted. When he goes to school I go back to bed for an ... more >

Day 27 - Both Ends Burning

Not working that extra hour, or hour and a half, last night meant that Mark Miller and I both arrived early and significantly less exhausted than had become the norm. We listen to Will's 'Quine' tak... more >
