Day 2 was amazing! We worked on our song that we had begun yesterday. I thought I would have time last night to practice a bit but, when I left the studio I picked up Rocky and Dusty so Samuel and Senny could go to their movie nite with friends. Having two rambunctious boys doesn't leave time for much else. Getting to the studio is usually a challenge but yesterday worked out nice because Senia had the day off from work and she was able to watch the boys. But today it was back to our regular schedule. Felice had school from 10:00-11:30 so I dropped her off and picked her up, swung by and picked Rocky up around 11:45. Samuel left to the studio so he and John could finish formatting the music track for me. And I went in around 12:30 while Felice watched the boys. Then I had to leave for home about 3:45 because Felice started work at four and I needed to pick her and the boys up then drop her off at work - whew! Finally back at home the boys and I went out and watered the yard, picked our first batch of tomatoes yum. I have to say, "there's no place like home".
Our song today was a short, sweet, lullaby which will be just Samuel playing guitar accompanying me, and well of course John will be adding a lil' something, something to round out the song.
We had to delay recording the guitar because Samuel injured his left wrist on Monday when we went to go pick up my bicycle. My daughter Felice was trying the bike out, and she didn't know it had gears and a hand brake. So to stop her from crashing into a parked truck Samuel stood in front of her and stopped her by the handlebars. We didn't think much of it that day, but by Tuesday Samuel's wrist was pretty swollen so he iced it, if you notice in the footage from day 1 it looks like he has a bunny on his arm. I brought him some Motrin for the swelling and the pain (we knew it wasn't broken), he just had to let it rest a bit. So maybe tomorrow or Friday he'll be 100% ready to record the guitar for the lullaby song. At any rate I was able to complete the vocal, and the guys were inspired right into the next song. Upbeat, fun, a girl power song (that's what I call it) I love it when the guys get in touch with their sensitive side lol.
Unfortunately the hosting system is still having problems, so we were not able to live stream but, maybe tomorrow (Sam has his friend Mike who owns a media company coming in to fix the internet problem - we are keeping our fingers crossed!). We knew we were the test case for this new method of recording a project so we are just going along with the flow.
It's great being in the studio with the guys.... Maybe tomorrow if all works out we'll introduce Rudy our creative technician. He's the fly on the wall operating the cameras and filming. Well we'll talk more tomorrow and hopefully we'll have some video clips up for you.
As always <3 Lizzi
