September she's so beautiful in New York State where my hat is hanging for several weeks between final recording sessions. We've reached the part of the journey of this album where we're all bouncing emails and voice mails and song files back and forth as we listen and listen and listen again.
My amazing fundraiser now completed, there's a finite amount of money in the coffee can for the finishing of this record so I've become a bit of a Ms. Miser as we excitedly proceed. Having track edit discussions from home saves me many hundreds of studio dollars, so I'm mighty grateful to The Boys (Record Producer Mike Leslie & Recording Engineer Robert L. Smith) for allowing these initial talks to happen from separate rooms.
Five songs done & mixed. (Though, we're revisiting those with listening ears to be sure of them, too.) Two songs ready for a backing vocals ("b-vox") session. One song waiting to see if we have enough funds for cello. Three songs resting on the windowsill to cool before determining if they need longer to bake. (Is gtr solo complimenting vocals and vice versa? Does it need something special on the outro? Is that a sneeze behind the 1st chorus? Etc. etc.) When you spend over $25,000 on the making of a folk-pop album, it certainly makes sense that you would be damn sure of it before sending it out into the wild.
And so we listen. On our computers, from our stereos, in our cars. Mike and I throw edit ideas at the wall to see what sticks then we toss 'em over to Mr. Smith for his magical mixin' man touch.
We love what we're hearing. We hope you will, too.
