In The Studio

DAY TEN

I didn't talk to anyone in more than a week, mainly because while I wanted to know what was going on without me I also didn't want to be pushy about it. I finally gave in and called Kelly, and then Charles. Both of them apologized for just not thinking about me. I can understand that, "Out of sight, out of mind." They brought me up to date.

Progress is slow, with Charles and Clay both working on rythm and fill parts at the same time. That said, progress is being made, and Kelly and I are getting together in a day or two so I can hear the tracks that are done. To my surprise people are complimenting my work on the songs, including a professional studio bassman Kelly sometimes works with.

I also bought a cheap fretless bass and some flatwound strings, just for one song, because I thought it would be better with a little of the "upright" sound.
