Tracking almost wrapped

Yes you heard right. We are nearing the end of recording (yet my list of things to do on each tune seems to grow ever bigger and never slim). Last night we had Anthony come in and sing "We Beseech Thee" in 1/3 the time it took me to do my version of it, and it smoked it all night from here till the cows came home. (you heard me). So my track is out and his goes to the big show. Excellent. Tara and Leah also did some background stuff, and Rob played some Hammond on a couple songs. I did handfuls of tamborine and shaker type stuff earlier in the day, so there was actually a lot done (even though it never feels that way). So for the picture-less update here today... Tom was here but didn't shoot anything, and there's just no way i can take pictures of the action and do all the other stuff i'm doing during these sessions (running mic lines, turning knobs, placing mics, getting water for the divas singing, staring at computer monitors, yelling at people to shut up in the background, listening for hiss, crackles, pops, and buzz, answering the phone, tuning things, being jolly, paying attention, and not hitting my head on things.
So that's it for now. Maybe by next week we'll have word on some artwork (or a name?) for this thing. Moving right along....
