Willis Update July 25 2007
The drums appear to be done. I finished the last couple of re-do's last night with the help of our newest assistant engineer, Courtney Heard, who's 30th birthday just happens to be today :) A couple more takes of Erfty, and Boy, and yet another new version of Switches that I threw together at the last minute was pretty much all that was required. As far as covers go, the only one we managed to throw down was Disconnected. There was talk of doing Spin Me Round or Go Your Own Way, but as time was running out on drums, I had to focus on the originals. The drums are sounding awesome, good tones, great levels, and my playing is perhaps better than ever. I think we have a really good foundation laid for this record.
So I'm off to Mexico on Friday until after the August long weekend. Lets start looking at the calendar, and pick another weekend to start working on the guitars. And M3, start practicing. Like for real. Your bass is still in my garage you know? And I will be gone Friday morning if you want to come grab it....hint, hint, wink, nudge. It won't make much of an original line up reunion if you're not playing the bass on the record. See ya'll in a couple weeks.
