15 From The Woodpile #3

the second week of june uncle bill flew up and added some new mandolin parts to the 15FTW album, as well as going through the songs with me on other production issues. it is sounding much more like an album now, just got to get my bass parts down right. we decided we liked how his mandolin recorded in the vocal booth, so for 2 days straight we chatted with each other through headphones. him seated in the corner of the claustrophobic 3' by 3' foam padded vocal booth, and me relaxing at my partially finished recording desk.

here are some pics form that week:

the vocal booth

smokey bear

uncle bill, and bmmw, whose ibanez guitar i borrowed for one of the songs

mandolins don't float so well with those "f" holes in the face............

i like my shirt in this one

uncle bill sitting in the corner

bmmw listening in to us recording, with unkie howards gibson overseeing things behind her.

and this would be daryl the photographer, trying to keep up with the blistering lead uncle bill is layin' down!

makes sense!

I just read an article on the dangers of heavy drinking....
Scared the shit out of me.
So that's it!
After today, no more reading.
