Well, for all intents and purposes, it’s over. I’m powering down the Flying Scotsman studio at my house for the last time. Don’t know when I’ll be doing another recording project. My priority is to now focus on baby, family and work. In Vermont. I’ve had this studio here in the house for six years, and some really good projects have come out of it -- mixes for bands like Muck and The Mires, The Fathoms, Grand Evolution, and Temper have been printed to my old reel-to-reel master machine here. I have to say the old Otari and I went out on a high note, having just-this-minute finished nine songs for Mike G. & Associates. Mike is the most rockin’, most soulful Americana artist I’ve had the pleasure of working with in years. He’s the lead guitarist for Grand Evolution, as well as the front man in a Neil Young tribute called Young Rust. That experience has served Mr. G. very well, as he has concocted an original sound that encorporates the best of old-school and modern rock. The guy’s got IT. I mean he really has it; great lyrics, singing and guitar-work. It's real organic with little or no studio trickery involved! Be on the lookout for this CD when it comes out. It was tracked at my old Altitude studio (now called 37’ Productions) by MY great associate, Sean Mclaughlin, and mixed by me here at the house, surrounded by moving boxes. So it’s done, I love it, and I’m proud of it. The last couple of days in the sweltering heat was melting both the equipment AND my brain, and you can hear it in the tracks...they're hot...overdriven. Appropriate that the last album I did was one very much after my own heart. Here’s Mr. G’s page: http://www.myspace.com/mikegsolo The tracks up there now are pre-studio demos of the songs. He’ll be putting up the finished mixes soon, so check in and give a listen.
