d-day

Today was the first day of recording sessions on those 11 tunes I had to write -- I was still making scores and parts a half-hour before it started. But it went down FLAWLESSLY -- the engineer (Steve Weeder) had the whole session running like a top. Larry Beers (drums), Larry Gray (upright and electric bass), Jim Trompeter (piano), Rob Berry (keys), and Dave Rush (percussion) all grooved HARD. Every single tune went down in one or two takes! I was a total blast.

So aside from the guitar tracks (which I guess I'll do tomorrow morning...), the rhythm section is all down -- we'll finish up this assembly-line recording process tomorrow!
