Well, it is very strange going back to the studio after Harry. This is our first session since he passed away. It is so bittersweet. I feel the need to keep going though. We waited so long to do this, now it is becoming an obsession. Maybe I am realizing that we don't always have all the time we want to do things. I think tonight will be the catalyst to continue pressing on. We are so close, yet there is still much to do.
Tonight is the first final vocal night. Coop behind the board, and I am laying vocal lines to Pretty Baby. We added a tamborine to Harry's cowbell, so I got another chance to jam with him on percussion. For all intents and purposes, Pretty Baby, which is the opening track to the CD is complete and ready for mixing. We began recording the lead vocal line to Twinkle in your eyes, but the computer started hiccupping...a glitch in the system. We worked on it for awhile until we realized that it wasn't going away. We decided that since it was past 1 am, we would end this session. Next week...with a new computer on board...I'm hoping to lay vocal lines for the rest of my lead lines and, if the recording gods are smiling, track the horns for 3 of the 4 remaining songs that they play on. We are on the verge! I can smell a completion date, although I can't see it clearly. Til next week. Lib

I realized after I posted this that I forgot one session that we did. Dec. 15. with Coop behind the board, Joe and I layed guitar tracks to Lou's song "Look at what she's done to me". 2 guitars and a guide vocal are tracked. With this being done, all 12 songs are in various stages of completion. Keep your fingers crossed! We have a shot of getting this thing done. Lib
