I was looking forward to lots of time off after the 2006 tours, but I actually spent a lot of time in the recording studio. I ended up playing on six different records! Three of my recording projects were done with a humble Grammy winning arranger named Fletch Wiley. In addition to working on other people’s albums, I finally started recording a few of my original tunes. One of these days I’ll have a CD to call my own.
After recording in the states, I traveled to London to do some recording with Ian. We recorded a couple of tunes from the acoustic tour, in addition to recording my tune, “Runty”. The Tull band also recorded tracks for “Bluegrass in the Backwoods” as a gift for me. It was fun to work with Ian in the studio, even if he does hear and point out every little mistake I make. Ian is a whiz at recording technology! He made the studio engineer feel redundant when he stepped up to help at the control board. I can’t wait to hear the mixed tracks.
