Putting another one to bed
I had a series of those protracted jobs that overlapped each other starting about four weeks ago. As the work progressed I ended up taking five guitars and the associated accessories and gear to work so I could easily do the tracks and overdubs as I transitioned from one job to the next. Let me tell you, my little guitar room has felt pretty empty for a while.
Last night my wife and I took the SUV over to the studio and did the load-out, and boy, I can't express how nice it was to have her help! That was a lot of poop to transfer. All gear except one guitar is back in the home studio, home and dry. I haven't yet had time to connect up the amps and get everything set so that I can just grab a guitar, switch on, and play. Soon.  (Just the guitars...) This morning the client came in to hear the last of the mixes I finished up Tuesday. The products were the zydeco and country songs I mentioned a while back. If you've forgotten (and it is likely), you can read about the sessions at my website, HERE. In the interim I had brought in an excellent vocalist and flute player and recorded both voice and flute versions of the songs. These will be going into a teaching DVD as memorization tools so there's the vocal version to teach and the flute version to recite. That vocalist/flutist was such a joy to work with. She's one of these people who just comes in, clears her throat, runs a couple of scales, and says, "Are we ready?" No "getting in the mood" or excessive warm-up. Cheerful, craftsman-like, professional. We need more like her. So this morning the client listened to the mixes and was thrilled with the outcome. She'll be back with a couple more pieces in a few weeks. The good will just brought the series of projects to a cool, upbeat ending with more to come in the future. Very nice. Bob

Excellent! Gives me hope for my never ending (seemingly!) project to reach a conclusion one of these days...
