My Day Playing With DJK (Danielle, Jim, Kevin and Timian

Yesterday I had the pleasure and good fortune of banging out some numbers at Jim's.. He's a really awesome musician, technician, engineer, and father of 4 all around good guy. We started at about noon and laid down 3 by about 6pm. My co-writing friend and videographer Timian Ba (Mr T) shot the whole thing. Danielle played piano and Kevin on banjo rounded out the trio except for Jim playing his stand up bass live off the 1st floor, while "rolling hard drive" downstairs on "Slow Tide". We laid down "Silent River" and also a couple versions of "Long After John". We got tired fast because of the rehearsal and recording as a band without previously getting together. The pizza helped, but when second one showed up, (after I pranked the Pizza Nova order taker) with anchovies, the day was done. Cold beer and out the door we went. All in all though, an unforgettable day. The best recording experience I've ever had.......it felt real real......ya know what I mean. Thank you everyone for your kindness and skills......you made gave a great big lift to these songs!
