Happy belated THANKSGIVING!!

I didn't get to post yesterday, but happy turkey day!

Recording: Day 1!

Today I recorded "How Love Goes" with Lee Curreri in his Venice studio! I came in there with about ten songs but we decided that "How Love Goes" was the simplest, easiest song to do now.

First we recorded the guitar, with a click track and a little temp percussion track, and then we did the vocals three times through. Also, I included a verse which I never sing in public, because it makes it really obvious who I'm singing about...so theres a little something new!  I'm really really really excited to keep working on this song!

       (we are thinking about adding a mandolin track, and I might want to add some claps like in
         "King of Anything" by Sara Bareilles -- but we'll see!)

I'll post the rough cut when he sends it in!

T-mobile

has done it again. I expect to be greeted like this next time I fly.

super rough. don't judge.

I have a myspace... I know.
But apparently its really good for musicians!

The songs my page were recorded once through and they are rough so there are some mistakes.

Here it is though:

Check it! (or wait until I put better versions up)

First.

Right now life is pretty stressful, but I cant complain.  Its all good. 

The one thing that really does save me is music. 

I sing non-stop... I'd say I sing more than I talk

I love choir even though it can be frustrating sometimes

I write songs about everything and everyone... but really

So I'm going to keep track of everything music in my life (and maybe some other stuff too). 

this blog was inspired by Nicole :)
