So today was the start of our recording.We are doing one song called "From The Attic".Its a new song for us and we have just recently played it live for the first time at our last show.We love this song and really wanted to push ourselves to record it now even with how new it is.Today was a long day at the studio but a very successful one.The thing about the studio is it never goes completely the way you think it will.You have to be prepared for that.We spent most of the day on bass and drums and HOLY MOLY they sound amazing.Jeff and Gilday were total professionals and hashed it out so well.Our engineer Colin did an amazing job with their sounds.Late in the evening I got the chance to start laying down a guitar track.Its a pretty unique experience and you learn a lot in the process.The first thing with music is that no matter what you are doing you have to lose all your ego and remain humble for the cause of the music.You always hear about bands breaking up and 60% of the time its always egos as the reason all of the time.If you saw Anchorman you are cracking up right now.Anyways ,so what I had thought in my head that was gonna be expected of me to do as far as what and how the music needed to be recorded ,ended up being something totally different.I was a little unprepared for it but once I knew the direction it was going I got back on my feet.This is why I said before that you have to be prepared for this kind of thing.It happens.So we got down one rhythym guitar track and it was a great ending to our first day.I am really excited to start off tomorrow jumping right into it.I can't wait to do the overdubs.Its like Christmas morning all over again.When all is said and done it'll be like New Years.For now its off to sleepy land.
Nite,Andy
