DAY
9 – April 3
RECORDING
THE NEW CD
Okay, this
morning we
listened to
Phil’s song
and Russell
felt he
could do a
better drum
part so we
recorded
another
version and
I have to
say it is
lot better
and the feel
is great so
this is the
version we
are going to
use. We
could not
start
straight
away as the
Piano Tuner
was there
working hard
in getting
the piano to
perfect
pitch. Don
Airey the
keyboard
player with
Deep Purple
is coming
into the
studio for a
few days
after us and
he phoned to
say hello
which was
nice. We
will see him
soon when we
play
Reykjavik in
Iceland on
the 27th
May.
Next up was
a Trevor
song and
after
knocking the
song around
and getting
the
arrangement
just right
we recorded
it very
quickly. I
used a VOX
AC30 for
this and it
is a
powerful
sound. We
have such a
great team
in Mike
Paxman
(Producer),
Chris West
(Engineer)
and the
in-house
engineer
Will. The
ideas
continue to
flow and we
have some of
the best
sounds that
we have
recorded.
Just Guitar,
Bass, Drums
and Hammond
Organ and
not a
Synthesiser
in sight.
Tonight we
are going to
listen to
everything
we have
recorded and
get an
overview of
everything
thus far. I
cannot wait.
After that
it will be
off to bed
so goodnight
everyone. I
doubt
whether I
will get
much sleep
with all of
these tunes
running
around my
head but I
will
definitely
have a smile
on my face.
