Hello people, I hope all is well in all of your world today as we enter into week number eight of the year 2010. In better words, it's about three weeks before spring and not to mention spinning the clocks forward for a bit of Daylight Savings time. C'mon spring!
Let's get right to last week's show review. Friday night we were up to the Hitchin' Post for yet another in our series of acoustic shows. The crowd was fair, and I learned later that there were a series of Pub crawls all throughout Binghamton that night. Lets face it, when the beer's are flowin', that's where you be goin' especially all for one price.
Musically, the band was a tight as we have ever been. We took both guitars and ran them directly into the board giving us a super balanced sound. It's so nice when you can hear yourself and everything has a clean presence to it. Nice!
Jeff and Patty stopped by for dinner that evening and we talked them both into doing some acoustic music with the band, and as always, electric or acoustic - it all sounds so good. Nice job on that Gin Blossoms tune Jeff - we rocked it.
On to the latest with the new album: First, for some of you folks, you may not be aware of our other three albums we have to our credit. Let me give you a quick history lesson here. In 2006 we released our first album "Going Aluminum". It was our first studio accomplishment that included many of the past members of the Short Change band lineup. Some good stuff there and some of KW's first song writing attempts as well. In 2007 the remaining three members of the Short Change Band went on to record a small Trinket for the 2007 holidays and we called it simply "Sessions". Many of these tunes were remixed and buffed up for the next album as what was to become our most polished CD to date "Take The High Road". We were on track with this album as it included not only the Short Change Band folks but a another handful of professional session musicians as well. Now as we grow yet again, we anxiously await the finishing touch of the "Full Circle" CD. This album will have 12 cuts - a dozen of songs with our musical bandmates. It will include everything from cello's to horns.
At this point I would guess it's approximately 75% mixed down. There are only 12 cuts on this bad boy so the rest should be completed very soon. Hopefully by March 1st. I can't wait! Plus, n the meantime. find your raffle ticket stubs from the "win the band" contest, so you can purchase the CD for just $5!
We would like to begin work on our next CD sometime in early April. The title at this point is unknown.
Alright, now you know everything I know about The band's recording activities and progress. I hope it helped.
On to the history of Rock and Roll this Week:
Fats Anton Domino - turns 82 this week- "I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill"
The Police' sign a 10 year contract with A&M records this week in 1978
And Jamie Fox win a best actor Oscar for his roll in the Movie Ray' - this week in 2005
I hope to see you all out and about. Have a great week and be safe - peace
