Getting to work today with one of my favorite female vocalists. Susan Williams..
Doing some final lead vocals for her new up and coming CD.

It's always a fun time in the studio with her. We have 10 song beds done already with various overdub's still to add and few more beds to do. I hope we can have the tracking done in the next month or two with just the mixing left to do...

I believe Susan is hoping for the first of the coming year to have the CD done and ready for sale.

Susan and the Wright Groove Band is playing in Catlin tonight at the Corner Lounge from 8-11. Come out and enjoy the show.

Yesterday was the closing to a final chapter of tracking in the 13 Grit CD project. We finished up with the girls doing the backing vocals and the boy's wanted to add a few more vocals on a couple of tracks. There are only a few I's to dot and T's to cross to have all the tracks ready for the mixing to begin. I guessing by the middle of the coming week I'll start the mixing process..

After spending a little over 7 hours for me in the studio I was ready for a drink. Lizzie wanted to know what I wanted for dinner and of course I said Pizza. A call to Doughbelly's and another great dinner. This time my beloved dog, Theo will not be getting any. LOL !!

Always a fun time with Susan's band.

I love working with talented musicians and this weekend is full of them.

Had the pleasure of working again with Mike Cruse on Keyboard Overdub's on the 13 Grit project. Knocked off 6 tracks last night and 6 more today.

Michael is a fantast key board player. He's very creative on what to play and when and not to play. That's the mark of a good musician.

He's got a new keyboard from Korg, the "Nautilus". This board has such realistic voices. Piano sounds are very real and the strings are far better that most other keyboards have.

Looking forward later this morning to spend another few hours in the studio with Michael.

Well a bit of an up date on what's been going on here at 401.

Working a project with the band 13 Grit from Southern Illinois. This band has the style of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Hard driving at time with all original material. Great group of guys to work with.

While this was all go in the A/C and heating unit required some attention which turned into a complete replacement. Installation is in progress today and should be up and running by later this afternoon. With this all in place we are ready for a fun filled remaining winter and the coming Spring and Summer.

A few other projects in the talking mode with any up dates as to when they may come about will be announced at later date.

Studio 401 Recording is Wishing all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
