pale fire union

Leslie speaker…classic.

Mad organ tones.

Sick, sick, sick.

Bruce Dees, aka Father Groove, rippin’ on Shorty.

…going down right now.

The cats at Brotown Sound. L-R: David LaBruyere-bass/studio owner/lover of Vietnamese noodles, Casey Barker-engineer, Mista John Capek-producer/arranger extraordinaire/piano man/good bud.

Met the band tonight at a beautiful gathering in the Nashville hills. Nice chaps all. Great food. Southern hospitality.

Tomorrow we lay down bed tracks.

Begin…

Feelin’ the southern air. Settled in at Johnny C.’s. Wrote a new tune today. Drank some strong, black mud. Met some fine folks. Sweetness…

Arrangements in the can, flight to Nashville booked, Aretha on the box…

Getting the pfu social media biz wired up for the Nashville madness. Tunes are good to go. Busting a move om my guitar bits…

In session at Johnny C.’s. Fly is underway and sounding incredible. Gospel voices and tablas happening. A beautiful breath of a tune remembering Quest Poetics, a man I never met but who’s music touched me. Rest in peace, Randy. See you on the other side.

Day three of pre-pro. Four tunes down. Each it’s own epic madness. I have found a kindred spirit in my new bud John. Sounds I’ve long had in my head are appearing in the arrangements via Johnny’s heart and fingers.

These sessions have been truly amazing. We are both feeling a bit knackered, total creative energy this week.

We’re back at ‘er for an evening session tomorrow. Fly is the name of Song #5. Look OUT!!!
