Here's a quick run down of what the day looked like.
Cason (producer) picked me up at 9 and we met Will Sales (drummer) and Tyler Burkum (guitarist) for coffee.
Showed up at The Smoakstack (Yes... I know that's misspelled but check it. Paul, the owner/operator/engineer's last name is Moak. Add an "S" and you get "Smoak". So clever.) at 9:45 to start setting up with Paul Moak (guitarist/engineer) and Tony (bassist).
Passed out charts and Cason talked briefly about what we wanted to accomplish with the album.
I ran through the songs once to get everyone acquainted and 7 hours later we had 3 complete tracks. It was amazing!!
Believe me, it's odd for me to be this giddy, I mean what the hell I just made a list? I'm like the fat kid who finally got picked for the team. Seriously.
Enough childhood confessions. Here are some more pics. Two more days left. Cross your fingers!
