Welcome

Hey there, whoever actually came here to read this!

So, here's the deal. In 1996, I released a solo album, The Advantages of Union. Since then, I played on and produced albums for other artists, got married, went to law school and became a father. Well, 14 years later and I am finally working on my second solo album.

So, why the blog? I have started pre-production on this project at least two or three times in the past. Now, I have actually gotten into tracking and have finished two songs and am 75% done with a third. I have decided that if I did something public to track my progress, I would be a bit more motivated to stay on track and finish this up.

Another reason that I am optomistic about this project is that I have finally gotten my home studio equipped and set up to really promote the "me playing everything" approach. Having a real Hammond up there is also very inspiring. I have also finally jumped into Pro Tools completely. I built a computer specifically for running PT and it is being used solely for music production. I am able to track everything with no latency, including an electronic drum set triggering a soft synth.

So, for now, the working title for the project is "I've Been Busy." We'll see what happens as the album takes shape.
