Day 6

Then we moved on to Under Her Spell which is starting to sound very nice indeed. I put the guitar on and then did a double track lead vocal which seems to work. Windsor put on a tambourine and then there was just enough time to put the guitar on 1000 Kisses. A good days work overall!

Last night we went with Danny and his wife Ann to see Mose Allison play. It was great for me as I've been a Mose fan since I was 14! Danny has worked with Moses' daughter Amy in the past, so I had the pleasure to meet the great man himself!

4th October 2003. And so the story continues..... First thing today we were trying to finish off the new arrangement for Mr.Big. Upon Danny's suggestion we made the song a half-time shuffle which immediately gave more room for the vocal and the song sounded more boss. Full marks Mr.Kadar!

Once this was perfected by Windsor and Steve we all took a lunchbreak and then it was time for me to put the master guitars down on the bass and drums of the backing tracks.

I started with Cadiz and managed to get it down easily. We then put a second guitar down in the background to accentuate the 8s which worked. A lead vocal I tried isn't the final one.

Then we moved on to Henry Moore and got a great guitar and lead master vocal quickly. I added some backing vocals which Danny liked.
