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

I say wow (Looking at comment #1), who would have predicted blog spam!! What's that going to be called - blam?

The songs are great Greg, and you guys obviously had some real fun making them. I think they sound pretty good, having payed them throught the computer speakers here at the office.

Are you singing the lead in any of them? i loved the Be-bop tune, Since you've been gone - what a riot, and nice work especially by your bass voice.

I'll let Dän in on this and he can have a listen too. Great speaking with you a couple weeks ago, and hopefully we'll get a plan to see you and PollyAnna going sometime soon. I keep a close watch on the American Airline specials so we can hope they feature Indy sometime, and you can head our way or vice versa.

Speaking of Indy how was the race? That was so cool that you got to see it!

Glad to hear about you enjoying your pottery class, Pollyanna. What a great thing to try your hand, or should I say hands at!

OK that's it for now, and remember, please root for our Dallas Mavericks in our first ever NBA finals. Go Mavs!

Chuy is adorable, the name's great!

Love to you both, and as my Mom would say, take care of each other,

Mollie
