I actually I thought I'd be posting baby photos by now.  Seriously, I was certain that I would telling you how Wifey, Baby and I spent D-Day.  Alas, there is no baby yet, and we wasted D-Day by sitting around looking confused and eating ice cream.  Just like Arbor Day!  Don't worry, though; there will be news soon enough! It also dawned on me that unless our little girl wants me to read her books on the subject of  audio recording and/or home repair, I may want to start looking for some new children's books.  I'm certainly open to suggestions, so let me know what you think. I should also mention that during my search, I came across the website of a very talented illustrator named Nina Victor Crittenden.  She has no idea who I am, but I definitely recommend you check out her work at her website.  Very cool stuff. I've also been making the most of the voluminous amount of free time one associates with pre-parenthood by continuing to make music.  I had a lot of fun recording this piece.  It has a toy piano, a Mellotron and a few other things that I can't recall at the moment.  Patty said it reminds her of  a walk in the park.  I couldn't have said it better myself, so I'm calling this one "Through The Park," and it is 1:41m long.  Enjoy!

I did a little recording this morning.  And just to let you know how easily distracted I am, I was actually working on an orchestral score, when I decided to take a break and try something different.  The result will never be mistaken for "orchestral." (Not if I have anything to say about it.) I own an old Rhodes Stage 73 piano that I am in the process of restoring.  Here's a pic. Idn't she cute? I've already repaired the mechanics of it and I am in the process of replacing the old Tolex on the outside.  More on that another time.  (And, yes, I meant to say "idn't;" that's how I role...OK, that was a typo.) So, this morning I was playing the Rhodes and decided to run it through my equally old Fender Twin Reverb Amp.  I also added some distortion to give it kind of an early 70s, Faces sound.  Yes, that was Rod Stewart's band before he became the (ahem) performer he is today. It's a short piece (1:21) but it's long on attitude.  Wait, no, the attitude is pretty short too now that I look at it in the right lighting. Chris Schuette no 1:21
