News news news... new baby, new album, lots of travel... Did I mention new baby? So no time and/or energy for bloggings, precious (gollum, gollum), but I had to say thanks to everyone who made it out to the Hillside cafe last night. It was a turning point for me, knowing I can -- under extreme circumstances -- hit the road at 10 in the morning, play a show in or around NYC that evening and -- here comes the crazy part -- jump back in my car, armed only with Sobe Energy Drink (2 bottles: highly recommended for late-night travel) and make the sojourn home.
Now of course, my schedule is flipped so it's 1:00 and I just came up from the studio where I'm laying some guitar tracks over the basic rhythm section work I did with Josh Caron and Sam Sherry last weekend. Drums, stand-up bass and guitar. And I have borrowed a beauty of a guitar for recording -- Tom Williamson, a long-time friend and seriously accomplished luthier -- has graciously let me nab a beautiful koa OM cutaway of his own creation. You just point microphones at it and roll -- it's amazing. And very much geared toward fingerstyle playing.
