Hmmmm...studio journal
Howdy! I wish I would have started this last summer while I was recording. It would have been nice to keep a running commentary on the studio. Although it probably would have gone something like this....
June.... in the studio again...a lot. Finished up my first four song music demo though..
July ... still in the studio. Decided to continue and record a whole album. Going country.. finished writing Crayon Heart and Take Me Away.
August... things are really picking up in the studio now... I record All the Right Words, Crayon Heart and Take Me Away.. oh then slowing down due to illness.
Sept... sick part of the month....so haven't been in the studio much. Probably only three times this month. Finished recording All the Right Words. The end of the month I was able to study privately with Nashville vocal coach Brett Manning. Man did he find my red neck.... got your red neck on?? Wrote A Man Like That with him.
Oct. OK things really get pickin' up here! Daddy's Farm is recorded (that took me forever to get written right. Recording was easy compared to the process of getting there. Although they did get a good "chicken" out of me while singing. That would have been a good blooper.) Record A Man Like That, Since You've Been Gone, and This Far Down the Line this month!
Nov. Finally decided on a cover tune.... an old Bryan Adams song called This Time. I actually recorded this song at 4 in the morning!!! It was supposed to be just a scratch track and we ended up keeping it! Crazy! That was fun 'countrifying' it! Overdrive is recorded and so is one of my favorites, Dried Roses. Probably in the studio 11 times this month. Finishing touches on production worked on a lot this month. Sometime in Nov or December I rerecord Always Love Me - just acoustic now. Marc, my producer, even made me cry trying to get some emotion into the song... I really felt it as I "sang to Tim." (Marc wasn't being mean, just making me think about how much I love my husband, Tim.)
Dec....Last days in the studio... CD goes to duplication.... first duplication ready on December 20, 2004! (The day of our Christmas concert at Thanksgiving Point) Wow... what a long haul!
Jan. - March.... Album getting mastered, finishing touches, etc.... changed up one song a bit...
Hopefully will get final duplication going before April. I'm running low. Only duplicated 250 CDs so far though... I only have 30 left. A lot up and coming!
OK.... I had just planned on writing... in the studio, back in the studio, in the studio again...you get the point... then I started remembering more than I though, so I figured I'd include it. Fun stuff!

I'm such a grown up! :) My blog isn't anywhere near the extensive blog yours is, but I've just started and your blog has inspired me to do more! Thanks!
Oh, plus you've inspired me to add a bit to my title.... had to add the "mommy" thing. 'Cause isn't it so true. They do have to come first.
