Good evening Dreamwalkers Family and Friends,

We are moving through the drum tracks for the album. Every time I hear Daniel drum, I am more entranced and impressed. Tonight was no exception. We worked on Debbie Stern's song "I Think I Think Too Much," a jazzy groove. Then we worked on Magnetic North, a song I wrote when I found out the real magnetic north had shifted and Tampa Airport had to recalibrate their runways. I wrote it as a metaphor for how we have lost our way spiritually in our society, in other words, how we have lost our spiritual compass. The odd thing is I wrote it about ten years ago. So go figure. 

Daniel gets the feel of the song. The scratch track had no blood, no passion running through it. By the end of the evening, there was plenty of blood in the song, it bled passion. The difference between that rock and roll blitzkrieg and the jazzy groove of Debbie's song was startling, but Daniel handled it like changing gears on a Porsche.

All of our recordings are passing through the sensitive and lyrical ears of Patrick Russini. Pat, as a drummer himself, has a special connection with Daniel, and I don't get in the way of that. Great songs, great drumming, great recording. So far, excellent.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker
