DAY ELEVEN: Bass-aramalamadingdong

After all having long and stressful days, we journeyed over to Andrew's place with pizza in hand, to begin the bass recording process. Everything in the studio was already set up for recording from Saturday's prep work, so we pretty much got down and dirty with the music as soon as we arrived. Today we worked on "That Striped Dress" and "Leila" and aside from minor recording details and edits, we have them both pretty much done. I sat in the studio with my lovely Fender Jazz bass while Ed in the other room, worked hard at the computer recording all the pretty notes I made. Andrew sat back with his gorgeous Sting Ray in hand as he worked on fine tuning the bass lines for the songs. We also worked on "Like Stars" and "What Love Is", and although we didn't record them, we started preparing them for the next time we are in the studio. Due to work schedules and family gatherings on the Thanksgiving weekend, we won't be back in the studio to record until Tuesday, where we hope to devote over ten hours to working on bass.

This record is becoming more and more exciting as it goes on. That's not to say that it isn't difficult, becuase there is no use in hiding that it is. However, the result will be well worth the challange.

Thanks for listening.

Peace & Love.
