Tonight, we worked on two of Debbie Stern's wonderful compositions, "Louisiana Playin' On My Mind," and "Tricks On Me." Led by the steady hand (and ear) of sound magician Patrick Russini, the inspiring drums of Daniel Polyak (The Heartbeat) were given wings. Ii was amazed at the power of Pat and Debbie's ears to pick up nuances and craft the drums to frame the song, and Daniel's heartfelt playing (after all he is the Heartbeat) was a joy to hear.  

Patrick has put a ton of work into mixing the scratch track which makes things a lot easier for the rest of us. Drums take a bit longer, as there are 14 microphones to synchronize, but we are beginning to make progress. It was an intense evening, but we got the drums for two songs complete and I am thrilled with the direction the album is taking. I thank Pat, Daniel, Debbie, Tony and Dave for their ongoing support of this project. 

Peace,
