The results are great. All six songs sound and feel great. The rest of the album will be recorded in SF and Portland, featured players will most likely include the aforementioned JWH, Jeff Kane, Kirk Swan, Wendy Bird, Jon Klages, and Chris Bauer. Besides myself and Steve on guitars, the lovely Robert Lloyd played piano, organ and guitar, the handsome Doug Freeman on bass, and the ever-perky Ms. Linda Pitmon on drums. Then up to beautiful San Francisco at the Bottom of the Hill on July 5 for a very rockin' show.
Tapes do exist.
My first project is for Portland, Oregon pop singer-songwriter Jim Huie. Jim is a talented writer and is no slouch when it comes to arrangements either. We started the recording in May and will continue to record throughout the summer. Jim, who is a fine drummer, will appear on some tracks on my new album also. I going to be playing a lot of open microphone nights here in SF in preparation for recording my new album, both to try out new songs and also to get back to the feeling of music as fun.
