Video plans

Getting Organized

This morning I started the process of preparing my album's liner notes. Among other things I tallied all the things I got to play on it. Here's the list: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, 12-string guitar, E-bow (yes, I'm counting it as a separate instrument, haha), banjo, dulcitar (don't ask), mandolin, bass, keyboard, tambourine and various shakers, hand rubbing as percussion... Well, and I sang, too :)))

More mixing, more waiting

Yesterday I listened to (almost) final version of the final mix. There are a couple of tweaks in two songs and it will be DONE! I promise!
In the mean time, I've come up with a very fun video idea for one of the tunes, so we'll be shooting some video footage (and the album cover) hopefully within the next few weeks. Spooky and John will be in the video. Now that I wrote this, they can't back out!
