Entry #194

Hi peeps! Hope you are enjoying this summer so far. This is Wednesday here in the Big Apple. Last Monday night I had drummer Dave over with his bassist friend, Kentucky. We added Reggae drums to my new song and then recorded bass for it! The art of recording well is very vast indeed. Luckily, our friend Keith came over just in time to reposition the mike and get us a decent recording on the very last take. Yesterday I recorded two vocal harmony parts~ one higher than the lead vocal and one lower. This is merely for the purpose of songwriting and fleshing out my ideas. Once I know way more about engineering and have the proper set up in my home studio, I'll be able to record cd worthy sounds. We've decided we're not attending Burning Man this year. Yep, the playa is not for us this time. It's cool, we're not really feeling it so, oh well. Maybe we'll go to Costa Rica soon or Ireland! The Black Rock Desert is extremely harsh on your body and at least for me, it's not what I need to subject myself to right now although I'm sure I'm going to miss it while it's in full swing. Ok, the truth is, I don't want to leave my beautiful garden, cats and home studio! What on Earth has happened to my priorities?! Things change, thank Goddess! We grow and change and things that were huge parts of our lives aren't so enticing anymore. We'll be there next year, no doubt. I'll be the one in the crazy costume. Enjoy and focus your thoughts on an abundant, positive future! Jessica Star
