Hey Thanks for the kind suggestions

Here is the truth. I would love to record a cd. Cliff has been after me for quite awhile. Steve Vai has been really kind and even offered his studio for free for me to record an album.

I think that I would call it "music for people with short attention spans" because it would be some original stuff then little short pieces and some strange covers. I love playing different stringed instruments. I play around with Ukelele, bozouki, mandolin. I play more acoustic than electric and am a collector of acoustic guitars. I am particularly fond of Collings Guitars. I have more than I want to admit. I might be the Dave Jeffries of Colling's. I like 00 and 000 mahoghany/spruce Martins and have a few nice old 20's era Gibson flattops that really sound good. At this years NAMM show I bought a Tacoma baritone acoustic guitar that is fun. I have had an archtop electric mando cello on order for years from tacoma but now that fender owns them I give up.

On the electric side I really like the brown fenders and think that the deluxe reverb is a desert Island amp. I have a pretty neat amp collection that you will see at the open house. I usually play with a Silhouettee 1h2s or an Axis sport with mm90s or a Albert lee.

I use a pick about 1/3 of the time with Bass and never on guitar. I told you it was wierd.

I love all of our artists but Albert Lee has always been a big influence on me.
I've known Albert since high school and am godfather of three of his kids. (I am also Kevin Morse's godfather)

The problem is time and I don't seem to make the time for it. I have recording software that is still sitting in the box. I am also drum machine challenged.

So there you have it. I was trying to play this down, but I felt I owed this longwinded email due to the posts. thanks for the time

BP,

That's why you should take Vai up on his offer. You don't have time to learn ProTools or drum machine programming. Get a real drummer to play with you, and let someone else engineer the project. Maybe Steve Morse can talk to Rod Morganstein? I mean, that dude can play anything, instantly.

Free up some time by avoiding the golf course until your CD is recorded. :eek:

Meanwhile, let us whip up a disc for you. You'll get to hear your beloved work products being mauled by people of little talent! ;)
