Recording session...

We (The Mad Maggies) just finished recording our 4th album. This one is full of Mad Maggified vintage covers (we usually do originals). Here's a few pics from Wally's studio in Oakland, CA:

Yours truly with my Legacy (and a "deer in the headlights" face after a way too early in the morning rhythm section take):

Image

The Mesa Express 5:25 with paraphernalia (the amp was hooked to my Tone-Tools cab which was isolated from the room so my sound wouldn't bleed into the drum mics):

Image

Wally with Bill on drums in the "tent" (Bill is a phenomenal drummer!):

Image

Lewis with his usual Cheshire grin ("Cheshire" was not my original word choice--"<censored>"! LOL!):

Image

Death is always watching! (He's our mascot and attends every gig--he once ran off with a Funk band, but we got him back!):

Image

Maggie and Wally in the control room (notice the 2" tape--we do it "old school." BTW, Wally's studio doesn't look "state of the art" but he is well known in the local music scene for producing GREAT sound. He's the man!):

Image

We also had Johny on tuba, David on trombone, Rhian on whistle and clarinet ,and Adrian on various saxs and bass clarinet. It was a FUN project!

The CD will be available in April. I'll post a song or two after it's mastered.

((I LOVE the edit feature of the new board! Thanks Craig and Co.))

Peace...

Nice! Recording is always challenging but fun.
We're about to go into the studio ourselves. It'll be our first disc.
Nice studio. Those cozy, informal ones are the best.

Good luck with the new CD!
