DAY 2 RECORDING...

It's all going so smoothly! (Knock on wood, please.)
We had 6 hours in the studio. The Athons--Joe, Melissa, Ted and Ella--made a brief, but great appearance. Joe plays a mean sax and Melissa did the flute honors so well. Both are TRUE musicians and friends, so thanks guys. Ted even pitched in on Pop N' Hop.
My family came in, too, to help with Pop N' Hop and Down, Down Baby. My niece loved it and my poor nephew (who we later found out had a fever!) was a trooper. Even my sweet baby boy did great (with the help of Daddy and a nap).
Back at it tonight for some piano parts and background vocals.
Here's the song list:

1. Moo Juice
2. Sippy
3. Pop n’ Hop
4. Potty Train
5. Freeze Dance
6. Down, Down, Baby*
7. Ooo, Ahh, Oww!
8. The Grandparent Song
9. My Dad Rocks
10. No Sleep Tonight
11. Let’s Drive
12. Hot Time In the Old Town*
13. Multi-Taskin’ Mama
14. Stuck Inside
15. Can You Hear Me?/1-2
16. Sambalele*
17. Hush Baby, Hush Child

FIRST DAY IN THE STUDIO...

Well, my drummer Billy is amazing. He got me through 12 songs yesterday in a 7-hour marathon session at the GORGEOUS Markosa Studios. I mean really gorgeous! Mark Thies is a great engineer and bass dude.
My brother, Sean, was able to even cut one song last night and he comes in again today to play piano on several other tracks.
Enjoy the pics!

We start again today and go until next Thursday. It sounds great!

FUNKY MAMA CD RELEASE PARTY AND CONCERT!

I want to tell you more about my new CD--"Moo Juice."
It's going to be straight up rock n' roll (thanks to many great musicians and my new Gibson ES 135 Kick Bootie guitar!) and I can't wait to get started. We go into the studio in March and will be ready to release it at a party on July 12. It's at my church, Southminster Presbyterian, in Prairie Village, 6301 Roe Ave. Just email me at funkymamamusic@hotmail.com to reserve a spot.
It'll be so, so fun. Snacks for the kiddos and great music for all! $2.00 per child; $4 at the door without a reservation.We'll have some giveaways, too! Let me know if you need more info.
Now...about the songs on Moo Juice:
17 of them---rock out with your little ones. I think this one will be my favorite.
I've been asked, "Is the popcorn song on there? Is the down, down, baby one on there?" The answer to both questions is YES!! Most of what I play live now will be on this CD PLUS some fun new ones NO ONE except my family and a few patient friends have heard.
