Well, everyone…. You’ve been watching me build this place for the last almost 2 years. And this past week was it! The studio is finished! And we had our first session! I figured I would go all out as big as possible… we had the A-List on this session!! Forrest Lee Jr on guitar, Ira Dean on bass, Billy Thomas on drums, Mike Johnson on pedal steel, Tim McDonald on keys, and Tim Crouch on fiddle. The artist was Ray Neyens, and his songs were great!!! The players really killed it…there was never any doubt that would happen…
We had good local food from in Westmoreland, the local bakery made a bunch of cookies for us, and the music was awesome!
Then, the second day, Jamie O’Neil and her sister Minnie came to lay down some vocals. We were able to chat about some fun old Air Force band friends like Mr Ballangee, and the fun times in great places like Iraq… it was a blast!!!!
Everyone from the inaugural session signed the door. And the room sounds AMAZING!!!! That being said….. Byrdsongs Studios is officially open for business! Come make some music and great memories!!!
