Dreamwalkers: Music Is The (Long) Ride and First Gig

Hey Dreamwalkers out there. . . 

The recording process continues We hit an interesting glitch and worked through it. The song that symbolizes my musical journey, Music Is The Ride, and the title of our upcoming album became our problem child. I wrote the song about taking my son to see Bruce Springsteen and what rock and roll means to me. It's a very sentimental, emotional song disguised as a rock and roll song. As we began to record the acoustic guitars a few weeks ago, we found the timing of the scratch track was a problem. So Patrick Russini and I charted a course through the song, and wound up victorious, with a wonderful version of Music Is The Ride, ready for our musical stars, Debbie Stern and Tony Sheppard to put their imprint on. It took hours of painstaking studio magic to get it right, and it was only when I added a 12 string acoustic guitar did the song come alive. 

There are many posters of my rock and roll heroes in my living room, and while working on the song I looked up and saw many who are on the other side, Tom Petty, David Bowie, John Lennon, George Harrison, staring down at me from their photographs and I felt warm and encouraged. That was the moment I knew we would nail it. The song is sweet and powerful. I can't wait for everyone to hear it.

We have a tentative gig on November 21. I will send details when the firm up.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker
