Tuesday, April 3rd

This afternoon I headed over to Coop's place to record some acoustic guitar parts. It's an incredibly cool vibe to sit on a bar stool, look out on Jupiter inlet and record some music. It was a gorgeous day and reminded me that this whole living in Caribbean thing ain't half bad...

Mark came over for the evening and finished recording all of the bass parts. It was neat tweaking all the bass parts that had been "serviceable" and making them really tight. Bass is such a subtle instrument, especially in recording. It takes a lot of focus not to be cheesy with runs and licks but to be really thoughtful in the arrangements. I feel REALLY good about what we came up with - it's not life-changing bass guitar but it's rock solid and really gives a great foundation for the guitars and keys coming up.

After a marathon 5-hour session of recording bass parts, Mark can barely move his fingers but the job's done...
