• Recorded guitar/vocal demo of “Cool Rabbits”
• Lefty liked it (it references his ATS melody in the chorus)
• Waiting on Greg’s thoughts

• While tweaking and toying with various mixes and unfinished pieces, Greg sent over lyrics for “Cool Rabbits” for what had been “The C# Thing”
• I worked with it, tinkered with it.
• Then we chatted by phone to iron out the few lines I thought needed a boost. Bingo.

• Mixing “How To Do Nothing” despite not having harmony vocals done yet
• Oops, that was my fault. I was supposed to send Lyle notes for harmonies two weeks ago. Just did that.

• Dialed in a drum sound for “Vanishing Twin”
• Sent new rough mix to folks for their overdubs
• Re-did verse guitars for “How To Do Nothing” on the Strat.
  • It had been the semi-hollow but it didn’t cut through how I’d hoped.

• Wrote a cold open scene based on audience feedback.
• Had video chat with Greg to discuss this and last few rewrites before we put this play to bed for the winter.

• Received a rough take of Lyle King’s backing vocals for “Vanishing Twin” and “How To Do Nothing”
  • A superb start. Now to hone in on the final bvox arrangement
• Band practice with John and Bob
  • Ran through ideas for “Too Many Voices,” “Vanishing Twin,” and “All That Sky”
  • Bob plans to come by next weekend to lay down bass for “VT” and classical guitar for “HTDN” intro.
