Today was a catch up day. Sammy and John were going to complete the music to the two songs on the mix table. I was going to start singing the lead vocal, and background. But today took a turn in another direction. Turns out as I drove up to the Taqueria the Health Inspector had just arrived. So just to be sure someone was there to do the walk through with the inspector I followed her in. Turns out the newest cashier was working. The head Cook was at the Fremont store, he's the one that usually does the walk through with the inspector if Jeremy is not available. So I called Jeremy and he said he was working at the Evergreen location. So I stayed and did the walk through with the inspector. I was already running late to begin with so this put me back about an hour and a half. The inspection went well, I signed the report on behalf of my son, thanked her for coming by, than ran upstairs. It didn't seem to phase the guys at all that I was late, they do what they do no matter what. They were just completing some parts on the songs. Sounds great, it's amazing how layering different sounds adds so much dimension to a song.
Today I will start recording my vocals - NOT in a whirlwind of creativity - John had an idea. They went out for a break to discuss, I am amazed how they didn't even need the keyboard, right there on the back steps of the studio they begin creating a new song. They came back in and asked me to listen to this new idea for a song. Of course being courteous as always John said "well unless you want to continue with the other songs". Oh no I'm totally into listening to what they were humming come to fruition. Amaze me again why don't you, is exactly what they did! A new happy lil' ditty was born. I am all about upbeat, positive message type songs. Well when the guys said they were creating this specifically for me, this song couldn't have been more perfect because it's about FOOD! Not literally food but metaphorically throwing together a lil' something ...a bit of this, a dollop of that, makes it all good, Fun right? So Sam who had been watching from his computer (while at work shhh...) texted me some lyrics. He's so funny, and what a great start, I have a feeling he's gonna get involved with helping us write this song.
Sometimes I think, if we do this recording only for our own family it is totally worth it. Think about it, my children will have something creative, personal, and lasting that they can hand down to their children. I don't mean to be morbid, but reality is, we won't live forever. And even if I did, I'm sure it wouldn't be a pretty sight. I'd rather have my new heavenly body, hopefully it's the one when I was twenty years old - lol. So tomorrow we'll see what we actually work on. I love the fact that the guys have the freedom to create as inspiration leads, rather than getting an idea only to find that you completely forgot the melody the next day.
I talk too much, I hope you'll tune in tomorrow and watch the footage so you can see how it all unfolds. And if you do, let us know, we're all on Face Book. We also uploaded some You tube clips of our first days in the studio, anyways we'd love to hear from you. Take Care
