Recording: Day I
Posted by Mr. HazelwoodApr 2
I believe I will have my coffee outside, as it is a beautiful day. The New Transcendentalists are set to arrive at the studio at Eleven O’Clock. I may get there a little early and oil the pedals on the pump organ. There was a mysterious buzz in the control room last night which plagued engineer Richard McLaurin. He and Joe McMahan (producer) stayed there well into the night troubleshooting. I am curious to know the results.
As there will be varying manifestations of the band each of the three days, I am pondering which songs to assign to each. Otherwise, my mantra for the day is ‘focus only on my parts’. Mr. McMahan is not playing an instrument. He will be planted between the control room speakers and directing the show. I can rest easy knowing that ‘someone out there’ is listening.
I apologize for my course syntax and the hasty nature of this entry. Economy of words is not exactly my forte’. Wish us magic!
Mr. H.
