My Songwriter Hat

Roberta Schultz met me at Group Effort Studios this afternoon and added harmony to my song - Just Like Tom & Huck. I had recorded it over a year ago and have tried various voices and instruments without attaining the sound I was looking for. That was until today when Sweet Roberta recorded the harmonies and percussion that I was hoping for. In addition we have bouzouk i and harmonica by my buddy, Tim Kelly, and Dan Murphy is planning a bass track and the song is taking shape!

Megan and I at Group Effort Studios


In the past year I had attempted to record this song with my granddaughter, Megan, but some of the notes in it are a bit hard to reach. We now plan to have her record a version of her own, in her own key. What can I say, the songs just come to me. I don't choose the notes, they just happen. Trying to tame them is tough work.

Nonetheless, my mini CD is close to completion so wish me luck as I work towards closure on my first recording project.
