Return from the Near-Dead?
It’s been quite a while - over a year - since I posted to this blog and for several good reasons. The recording process bogged down while the producer’s band got very busy, as was I, and only the session with Brian laying down guitar tracks got down. Things crept along and we were working on scheduling a session in August of 2008 when my spouse suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized. Eight months and three surgeries, two infections and and many days in the hospital, she is recovered nearly completely and has a new prosthesis - a piece of skull replacement. During that time, I didn’t do any recording, although I played a lot for therapy.
Anyway, I have finally gotten back to the project, with a new producer Patrick taking over from Michael, who is busy with other jobs at LSRA. I drove down in March and recorded some additional vocal tracks, of which, after listening to some quick mixes, several were not satisfactory at all. Age does creep up and I clearly can’t sing studio-quality for two hours straight. So it’s back down to Lexington in May.
