elizabeth woke me up and brought me a Cookie Cone. awww! i'm gonna eat it right after i'm done with this.
so the 5 o'clock has been recording some tunes this week. we've been using high end microphones and monitors and been in a state of the art $100,000 recording studio PSYCH! WE HAVE BEEN USING DAT TAPES LIKE FROM THE 80s.
it's been interesting trying to play perfectly for each take. more often than not, the band played better our first try, rather than trying to fix things later. the one exception was yesterday when our second take of "Extra Credit" went a lot better than the first.
dear trombones in my lab band,
point your bells at the microphone. it sounds like you are a bajillion miles away playing from inside a cardboard box.
love, john
i'm nearly finished with my first big band arrangement of "The Natives are Restless Tonight" by Horace Silver. i hope it sounds like i think it will.
okay, i'm a big old music nerd.
P.S. i lied when i said i was gonna eat the cookie cone after i finished this. i already ate it.
