Champaign Public Library Grand Opening
WOW! Champaign has a brand spankin' new Public Library and I played for the toddler crowd on Sunday afternoon. What a blast- music going, kids dancing around and clapping, people shoulder to shoulder everywhere. We're so fortunate to live in an area that supports such an amazing venture. Rock on!
Rough Mix of Sacrament Stomp
Just in time for Thanksgiving, here's a rough mix of a memory song for Catholic children that I'm recording for K4J. That's Matt Stewart on Electric guitars and Chad Dunn (from Sons & Daughters days) playin all that percussion; 32 TRACKS of PERCUSSION!!! Go to the music section to find the mix!
Buttons, buttons..
A Full Day
So today, Daniel (my son) served at the 7am Mass at HolyCross and then we're going to a paintball event with Trailblazers; a young mens catholic leadership group that we're involved with. That'll go from 10am-2pm. Then, I'm in the studio at 3:15pm-10pm recording with Mark Rubel(Producer),Matt Stewart (Lead guitars,and guitars), then Chad Dunn is coming in around 6:30 tonite to do percussion on "Sacrament Stomp", which is a memory song for children I'm recording. So, I bet I'll feel all of my 46 years by 10:30 tonite! I hope to post some pix from the studio session so keep your eyes peeled.
Peace-David
So here's the promised pix. First, we left paint ball early . Suffice it to say, not Daniels cup of tea, which is fine with me. But later I had a full day in the studio and here's the pix. Matt Stewart and Chad Dunn are amazing musicians and good people to be around. We had a very productive day. By the way- most if not all of Chads' percussion is hand-made by himself!

Studio sessions Begin!
November 1, All Saints Day: Pogo Studio: Champaign Illinois:
Day 1: Mark Rubel and Josh Quirk & I recorded basic tracks last nite for the 7th K4J (Kids For Jesus) cd. It is always a blast to be at Pogo and with Mark who I've known for decades. There's always new toys and jokes! The new toy is a 21 ft grand piano! I'll upload a picture of it after todays session. It's beautiful and amazing. Mark told me to play one low note with the sustain pedal pressed down and that note lasted... and lasted... for a VERY long time! I believe he's just sampling this piano right now but WOW! It was beautiful!
Josh is a very well known studio drummer in town , in addition to being in several really good,fun bands. He's played drums on the last 2 K4J cds (at least).
We got a good jump on 2 new songs for this record:"Celebrate Life", a pro-life surfer song, and "Sacrament Stomp", a memory song about the Sacraments! Josh played a cool pattern on the rim of his drums with his sticks in the verses of Stomp and that worked out well. All in all, we had a lot of fun, applied ourselves in a relaxed but focused way and had a good productive night.
More tomorrow!
