Songs

The AKAfellas recorded again in February to see how things have improved. Thanks to Scott Wilder, we mixed the songs, added reverb and put it on a CD. Greg's Grandma D'Ann loved hearing her grandson on the CD, since her son Chris Bayman is already a professional guitarist heading up the Chris Bayman Quartet.

I think this mix is good, though, keep in mind, singing is not their day job. They're 4 engineers who like to sing for fun. :) It was cool to hear them all on a CD too.

I wish I had a cool picture of them rehearsing, but since Scott's wife, Kathie, didn't think we could stay quiet enough, we went furniture shopping instead. However, Lori, Doug's wife, did get a picture of them rehearsing at their house way back when, and she's posted this pic on their myspace. Greg and I were there the following week to mix though, and that was like looking at their voices through a microscopic ear, if that's possible. 'Twas fun and many thanks to Scott and the other fellas, Doug, Matt, and Paul.

For your listening pleasure...listen at your own risk. j/k ;) http://www.scottwilderweb.com/page1/page7/page7.html

Amy's 30th

We went to the Claddagh for dinner and then bowling for Amy Riego's 30th birthday party. The food was good, and the Bailey's cheesecake was beautiful!

Greg liked the plaque in the party room that he thought his mother would like. She never knows a stranger, always making new friends. :)

At the bowling alley, I didn't capture Greg's many strikes on film, or the 3 times he had to rescue my ball that got stuck in the gutter. But I did catch Amy blowing out the candles on her cake. She needed some help from her cousin Nancy.

It was a fun, yet exhausting night. Who knew you had to be in such great shape for bowling? With Greg's great coaching, I threw 2 strikes in 2 games! :) WooHoo!! I think I've overcome my fear of bowling from when I was 9 yrs. old at the bowling alley in Mosquite, TX, w/ my dad and the 9 lb. ball slipped off of my hand and I flung it backwards into the seats where his friends and their kids were sitting. I was SO embarrassed, I didn't want to ever bowl again! No mishaps like that one this time, but I only used a 10 lb. ball. :)

Girls Night Out

Tonight we're going to Broad Ripple to Mama Carolla's for some good Italian cuisine. I can't wait! This wet weather needs some warm comfort food to keep me smilin'. I hear it's romantic. Maybe Greg and I will try it sometime.
