Dreamwalkers Album 2.0: Progress

Hi Dreamwalkers Family and Friends,

We completed four scratch tracks last week, and our goal was four more, but things went so well, we finished five tracks, which bring us to nine. Tony Sheppard stole the night. We all know him as a versatile player, able to play Latin, Jazz, Ska, and just about any style you can name. He let loose his rock and roll heart tonight, with some spectacular playing on my original songs, "Music Is The Ride" and "Suggestion By Echo." Across the studio I was in awe. Patrick Russini was once again steady at the controls, bringing helpful suggestions to keep us on track. We recorded three Debbie Stern songs, "Call Me Love," "Good To See You Gone," and "Tricks On Me." Wait until you hear how terrific these tunes are. Daniel Polyak (the Heartbeat) and Dave Ross put in a strong rhythm section. Remembering these are scratch tracks is important because the goals are to get the tempo, arrangement, and feel right. Daniel said, "I want it to be simple and strong. I'll save the fancy stuff for the final recording." Still, if tonight's playing was indicative of what the album will sound like, we are all in for a treat.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker
