I am finally in the studio recording a new CD. This is not my aforementioned studio that will be under construction shortly. That will be primarily for teaching and messing around recording my own demos. I don’t have the equipment or the skills to do really nice recordings.  Kyle Murphy of 40HZ at Elev8ted Studios elev8tedstudios.com in Sacramento is doing the job. Kyle is great, definitely knows his stuff. We laid down tracks for three songs last Saturday and will be doing more this coming Saturday.

I am still having some issues with my left elbow so I am fairly limited in how much guitar I can play at one time. It sucks, but at least the problem seems to have stabilized. I had been trying different strings, even going to silk-wound in order to alleviate the problem. Silks felt good but didn’t sound as good. Extra-light Elixir’s seem to be the best compromise. Fortunately, it’s not as much of an issue when I am playing piano so those songs should go faster.

I will have about 16 songs on this album when all is said and done. I have enough for two CDs at the moment, but I’m hoarding some for a future project. I have just been writing like crazy these last two years. It’s pretty cool. I definitely can’t wait to share them with you all.
