1/2/13- Last night was the first time since this journey began that I had a room full of truly professional quality musicians. The keyboard/guitarist turned out to be a guy I have played with before who is a very good guitarist. He didn't bring his keys with him for this session, but I don't think his ability on that will be an issue.
The bass player is an amazing song writer and excellent on bass.
The bass/drummer guy moved over to drums seamlessly and plays with taste and finesse.
It looks and sounds like the makings of a fine 4 piece. All four of us sing well and can put on some fine harmonies as well.
We had a meeting after the session to discuss our direction and decided on a 75% cover songs 25% original repertoire to start out and work toward doing all originals as time goes on.
The bass man is working on a new album too, so we'll be working on doing some back up tracks for that as well. His studio is roomy and full of the very best equipment.
All the pieces are now in place and we made a 10 song list for each of us to do some homework on for our next session.
