Dreamwalkers: Music Is The Ride Album Update

Hello to all my Dreamwalkers out there,

Thought I'd give an update on the album. Right now the working title is "Music Is The Ride." Patrick Russini and I have been working on acoustic guitars and we are now halfway through the songs. I've got to tell you the sound is crystalline. Pat is doing amazing things with the recording process and I'm learning just by watching him work. 

Last week we worked on three Debbie Stern songs: Don't Give Me A Second Thought (Let Me Be Your First); Call Me Love; and Louisiana Playing On My Mind. It was such a joy to play on them as the songs are incredibly beautiful and soulful. Don't Give Me A Second Thought is a Beatlesque song, fun to play, fun to sing.. Call Me Love and Louisiana also have Beatle influences, are more tender, exploring the nature of love and relationships. 

We wound up using several different acoustic guitars (from my herd) to get different feels on the songs. It's kind of interesting how my ear seems to synching with Pat's in the choice of guitar sounds. Rosewood guitars have more high and low end, leaving the middle for the vocal. If we want a brighter sound we use a mahogany or maple guitar. Lighter wood color has a higher frequency response, darker wood, a lower one. 

I believe we did the songs justice and things are moving along, one step at a time.

Peace,

Dr Dreamalker
