I wanted to post a couple shots of this past week. I've been working overtime finishing up my record. We should have it ready for mix by the end of next week and it's really starting to sound like a great record. My studio has been rented out this week, so we've been cutting vocals at Cason's house and today did a ton of overdub percussion at Sir Paul Eckberg's.
Cason's been in a big Jay-Z mood recently, so in between every song we would work on we had to stop and watch a track from the "Fade to Black" DVD. Hopefully that will put the three rap songs (something I've never done before) into better perspective.
Anyway, here I am, singing the song "New Beginning" in Cason's kitchen. That microphone is a Blue Baby Bottle. I ordered one the other day, to use on my vocals for this record, only to find out it's three weeks back-ordered. Thankfully, Phil Madeira happened to have a couple of them and loaned me one for this week to help me finish up. Pretty cool-looking, eh? (the mic, not me...)
Cason's Self-Portrait #1
Self-Portrait #2 (He is a bad, bad man...)
Here I am, listening to the track...
In other news, it snowed here the other night and Paul took this cool shot of our house. It makes it look like we live on some big piece of land out in the country somewhere. He's a good photographer. We do not.
Here was Ella and I the other night
and she started pulling up yesterday! Here she is in the kitchen against the dishwasher. Extra points if you can spot Bobes and his dad in this shot...

Sweet pics. That girl is getting big. And Cason... well, I don't even know what to say about Cason. :-)
And how is it that you got snow in Nashville and we don't have any in Iowa?
The snow down here (in the glorious south) is the best. It's enough for the kids to play in early in the morning, but then it's gone by 3:00 that afternoon. ahhh...winter. ;)
