CD Update - 1/30/09

Last night was a building night at the studio. Because Joe was under the weather, and Lou had previous commitments, it was me recording, with Coop behind the board. Rather than plunge ahead and continue laying down new tracks, we decided to add on to the existing tracks.For those of you unfamiliar with recording, the basic tracks are layed down, in this case Joe and myself on guitar,and then, using the many tracks we have available, we build on each song one piece at a time which makes mix down infinately easier.Last night I added guitar solos to Twinkle in Your Eyes and Pretty Baby. While recording the guitar work in Twinkle in Your eyes, I thought to myself (which of course is always dangerous and caused me to flub the ending run in the solo) that strings would really fill out the back end of the song. So with the magic of Coop behind the board, I layed down the string track (after several "touch" takes). We made it a short night ( 3 hours) and called it after the completed take. - Lib
