That’s right. It’s Jan 1st 2013 and we’re in the studio for a half day. The deadline is looming. Today Will and I look at Myrtle & Rose – the long ballad. My guitars, so far, are fine but it needs something for the second half of the song. Will finds a Ring Modulator sound we both like and spends several hours almost getting something but not quite. Eventually we give up. Not the best day of the recordings, thus far, but there will necessarily be days like this from time to time, if I ma to bring the musicians to the tracks ‘cold’ as was the plan, and it’s too late to change it now.
On a rough reckoning we are a couple of days behind schedule now. Tomorrow was supposed to be a rest day…
