I was in my room by 7am - no sleep. I decided to stay up with Jimmy as he tore through the midwest. I was gone like the wind by 7:30am.
Our Comfort Inn is in a Walmart parking lot. Lucky me.
I spent most of the day relaxing, eating, & taking my time stocking up at the 'Mart. Applebee's worked out well.
This evening we started a well needed disctraction: a funny rap song by Chris Hicks. Chris wrote the words. He 'sang' a scratch track tonight. I used that to start building the track. I'm using Garage Band for real for the first time. I normally use it to make demos... many songs in one session - muting all of the other tracks to listen to one song.
Anyway, I'm producing the track. It's starting out pretty good. Keith Glenn, our front of house engineer, will do the final vocal tomorrow night sometime.
The Bronx is Burning is working out famously. It's a dramatic recreation of the 1977 Yankees produced by ESPN. Oliver Platt as Steinbrenner & Tuturro as Billy Martin works well.
Also, the new Spoon record is really good.
