So we survived the first week in the studio which was only three days but it was awesome! We took all of the ideas of the past and threw them out the door. I wanted to actually throw something out the door to symbolise the moment so I did. It felt very freeing. I think if there is a word of the week, sometimes we have a word of the week or saying of the week contest, the word was experimenting. Yeah it was amazing some of the crazy things we thought and tried. All these new sounds and directions led us to do some cool things. One idea was to start playing my beloved by me Rickenbacker bass through a guitar amp. I must say I loved it and may start just playing it that way all the time. We retubed jimi's amp to with some different tubes to help change the sound and wow was it cool. Best sounding amp I've heard in a long time. Jimi could not get enough of it. So much so he played it so loud all day I had to wear earplugs! haha We thought it best to take a couple of days and rest our creative brains and let the subconscious mind workout the details of what we have done so far.
Ok that's all for now but we will be headed back in to work some more over the week. Wish us luck!

I wish you lots of luck:D It really sounds like you guys are having alot of fun making this record! It's good you guys are such good friends and can work together well! My cousins' band fell apart because they couldn't ever agree on anything. It is ashame too because their vocalist and drummer was really good. They are from a small town in Arkansas and probably won't ever go anywhere. I hate to see talent like that wasted. I really wanted to learn the guitar but I just couldn't do it. The strings killed my fingers. My fingers are also short so that didn't help either. I usually do not give up on something I want to do but I just couldn't handle the sore fingers:D I know I'm rambling again:D Looking forward to hearing something new from you guys!Until next time:D Tammy
