Banjo and Mandolin
I made the trip to Lexington on Saurday, April 7 for the recording of mandolin and bano tracks on the bluegrass tunes. As I noted earlier, I arranged for Murrell Thixton on banjo and Danny Jones on mandolin for this sessions. They laid down tracks for five bluegrass tunes and one mandolin track for “White Horses” in about three hours. That’s one of the best parts about having two very professional pickers do the work: most of the songs were single takes, with a bit of extra punch-in on “White Horses.”
Producer Michael T also said that his Buffett cover band was proceeding quickly to wrap up recording for their CD, which includes “Madman on the Corner,” for which I’ll get some actual royalties. Wheee. I can hardly wait.
