Everything

  • Had a long Zoom chat with Greg to talk about February projects.
  • There won’t be an album-in-a-month this year. Too many other projects of various sizes are already underway or committed to for the coming months.
    • Greg has a writing project of his own.
    • I will be performing on Tim Lewis’ Sounds of Burlington at Robot Dog Studio on February 12th. (No release date yet.) I will be rehearsing for that big time over the next two weeks.
    • I am producing DonnCherie’s tracks. I have arrangements and instrumentations to work on.
    • If there is one project I’m planning on completing in February it’s the musical. I’ve softly committed to finishing the songwriting by 2/28.

Groundhog Day

  • I’m done remixing the GD catalog. On listening back to everything, I came to several realization about what the project was, what it means to me now, and what I should do with those recordings going forward.
  • With that in mind, Scott and I settled on a track list for a compilation of the “Essential” tracks and I will release that this week.
  • I removed the complete four albums from the web. They’re now “out of print.”

Studio

  • Tried to repair pickup on Taylor acoustic. Nothing has been coming out. I want to experiment with mixing mic and direct for a finger-picking song.
  • No success. And now onboard tuner stopped working. Damn.
  • Will bring to shop next week for repair.

Groundhog Day

  • Finished Dig remix.
  • Gave our 4th album a listen. Actually mixed pretty well already. Might do a slight remix and remaster. I had mastered it a little hot.

  • Laid down a really good lead vocal for “Winter Song” today. Chris’ tips were a huge help and Kate provided additional guidance and support.
  • Tomorrow I hope to work on some combination of flute, piano, lead guitar parts.

Groundhog Day

  • Remixed just about all the rest of the Dig album over the last few days. Went really easily since the 2006 remix I did was pretty close.

HH Musical

  • Last night and this morning I finished writing the song for the opening scene. Very pleased; it hits all the notes I wanted to hit.

Adam Rabin

  • Been practicing vocals for “Winter Song” in hopes of being ready for a stress-free tracking session this weekend.
  • New Year’s Eve release?

Groundhog Day

  • On a whim, remixed “And Comes in Dreams” and “Salsa #5” the last couple days. That’s some weird stuff.
