Two weeks and Counting

Bob's pathos...

We're getting down to the wire. Who'da thunk that it would almost be a year to the day that we started putting together this crazy idea. The songs we're recording, "Don't Blink" and "It's Girls" have gone back and forth between us about a hundred times. Arrangements are taking shape. Vocals are, er, um, vocals. Sorta. 

So, in two weeks and three days, we are boarding airplanes in each of our home towns and heading to London. We'll meet there on Friday, Dec 5th. Then we've got two days to get acclimated and on Monday, December 8th, we're in Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios.

Gulp.

Gulp again.

Starting next Monday, I will be intensely prepping for this. I need to get to the point that I know every bit inside and out. That way, when I get to the studio, I can relax with the parts rather than having to concentrate on playing them.

Guitar parts. Vocal parts. Bass parts. Thank GOD Tim is playing the drum parts. They're the parts that are going to be right.

SO, we've got 12 hours in the studio. First 2 will be setting up and finding sounds. Down to ten...

Next, putting down the guitar tracks. That should take another 2 hours or so. 

Next up, drums. Tim will knock these out in 1o minutes. 

Down to 5 hours and 50 minutes left.

Next, bass. Add another 1.5 hours (that's 1.4 for my part - Tim will get his down in 10 minutes). 

Down to 4 hours and 20 minutes.

Vocals are next. Gonna need about 4 hours for these.

20 minutes left to mix. No problem, cuz we are working with a pro!

WHOA! Whatta ride.

Gettin dizzy!!!!
