I don’t start at Slaughterhouse until 2PM but I’ve got plenty to do before then –

First I need to check the stems that MAM has given me to work with …

Uh, oh. I wake up feeling not good at all. My throat is dry and I guess I shouldn’t have had the beers on the way home… I text MAM …

More of Matty’s overdubs, and my voice craps out…

We start with If I were a song because I know the basic sound from The Flipside, without the echo will be …

Task #1 – check banjo on K Street (now called Rhinestones). Amazingly I dont stink and we have a banjo track! We have to nudge this a little the left and this a little right, but it sounds good and I feel almost like a musician…

First day for Matt Cullen. We meet outside my house at 9.40, Schwaber, Cullen and I to try to squeeze all of the guitar gear into two cars (Mark had kindly taken home amps and electrics last week but he isn’t working today). It looks like a tight squeeze but as soon as we jettison the stroller we’re fine.

11 AM start. MS comes by our place to help getting amps over – his vehicle is more sensible than my mid life model.

First thing – Why In The Word? …

2 PM Slaughterhouse studio. LC, engineer Mark Alan Miller (MAM from here in) and M Schwaber is hanging around to help.

Last day of basic track recording in The Magic Shop.

So we did it. Six days. Twelve songs

This will need to be brief. I wish there was more time but I must sleep soon.
