Separating personal and business finances for the first time. I'm pretty excited to see it in blue and white. Bye bye Synchrony at 29% and hello "if you don't have it you don't buy it!".

Great day on Tuesday recording a song for Maddie Eck along with her dad and my old friend, Tom Eck. A beautiful lullaby that Maddie wrote for her firstborn son, Peter.

Great day recording Maddie Eck's beautiful lullaby she wrote for her first born son Peter. She's a pro through and through considering it was her first time in a recording session environment. Now to mix!

As Larry Mullen Jr. once said, "Look, I got my very own conga!" Actually, a pair. Toca Players Series Congas for $80 on Facebook Garage Sale. Not a bad find at all!

So many changes!!!

137 new items added to shared album

I started to sculpt lyrics/ scratch vocals into a song written many moons ago (7 years or so) called "Adirondack Sky". Lyrics inspired by all our trips through the park for our Lake Titus vacations. Lyrics written about three years ago. I did have a lot going on building this studio but now nose to the grindstone! Only have about 10 -15 more songs to go. 😀

Home sick with UR infection doing some mixing and watching a PureMix interview with Andrew Scheps hacking my brains out. Could be worse, I could have nothing to work on and be sick.

I got turned on to Soundpaint's Saxophone virtual instrument that is outstanding. There's also a free 1928 Steinway Piano VR for the downloading. The sax is very good and it's inspired a tune already. Just an FYI for anyone looking.
