DAYS 3 and 4 RECORDING...

Whew!! This is a marathon!!
On Monday, banjo player Michael Foiles and harmonica player Tulsa Read came in to record some very cool parts on various tunes.
I recorded with the engineer/bass dude, Mark, all evening Monday and Tuesday, and we are all done with the exception of one zydeco accordion player, Ernest James. He comes in to play on "Potty Train" tonight. We've got 4 songs completely mixed and only 13 to go! I'll be in the studio for the next 3 nights and Friday morning (hopefully) I'll have Moo Juice in my hot little hands.
I'm planning on posting some samples when they're mixed and ready to rock.
ALSO...
THE CD RELEASE PARTY IS SOLD OUT!!!

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!
