Of Drums and Mixes

I don't have anything too major to report right now since I'm just starting to get back into the swing of things.  I did pull out some mixes this weekend, do some touch up work on 1-2 and reopen a couple that I haven't looked at in ages, and also made a ton of notes in an effort to wrap my head around what exactly I was doing over a month ago and what I should be doing now.  My studio room is still a bit of a shambles but it's slowly getting back to normal.  Supposedly, a big piece of the remaining house remodel work is to be done sometime mid week and that should help me out considerably since I'll once again be able to move things around.  It's hard to move around a large bedroom sized space when there are countless items on the floor.

I did finally have time to investigate the typos and mis-information for the "...Miss You Most..." album.  I did submit the changes online so I guess we'll see if they actually do get updated, etc.  I'll try to burn the disc again next weekend and hopefully all will be correct (fingers crossed).

I finally got ahold of Peele Wimberley, the original and former drummer for the band the Connells, and I'm hoping to work with him on drums for a new 4 song EP that I've had in the works for awhile.  For anyone keeping up on this (and if so, I don't know how), this is the EP that I started with Seth Tiven of Dumptruck a couple years ago.  Word on the street is that Seth is working right now on recording his guitar parts so I should have an update on that fairly soon.  Not to keep name dropping but this 4 song EP, which will most likely live under the song title "Yet I Tried for You", is the first thing I'll work with Marty Willson-Piper on completing so I'm planning on sending it out to be mixed by a pro.  I'm highly curious to hear the difference.

I know I had other news I wanted to share but my mind is now completely blank.  What could it have been?  No clue.  Ah, the pleasures of getting older.  If I think of it, I'll post it.
