New release: "The Get Gos Action Hour!" on sale NOW!
JEFF LYNNE
Paul – guitar
John Cerreta – synth
Six guitar tracks recorded and stacked. Four of them were my Kramer Ferrington (still in loyal, tinny service after 13 years) and two acoustic. Very painful by the end, my hand cramping badly.
John recorded some synth, a sort of “Turn to Stone” sound. Rob also did some Mellotron at the end. The keys made it apparent, though, that the guitars are anticipating the beat and will need to be redone.
OVERTURE
Linda Bolley – drums
JEFF LYNNE
Linda Bolley – drums
Drum tracks complete for both.
Linda was great, and particularly locked into the ELO thing I wanted for JEFF LYNNE. We vaguely talked about doing some live stuff, something she’s offered before. She’s the one who got my CD initially, I still don’t know how, and loved it and recommended me to open for Gentle Readers at their CD release last summer. I had run into her again late last year at Eddie’s Attic when she was playing with Salamander Tales and weaklazyliar played that night, too (which is why I was there). She went on about my CD and said we should get together sometime to play. Rob knows her, too, though, and was actually the one who recommended her for these songs first. When he asked her, though, he had to explain who I was, because she didn’t recognize my name off the bat.
Strange world.
FINE
Paul – backing vocals
ENTR’ACTE
Paul – vocals (lead, backing)
The high backing vocals on FINE were very tough to nail and took several takes. You can hear the wear and tear on my voice from them on ENTR’ACTE.
The little “ooh-aah” parts on ENTR’ACTE remind me of “Age of Aquarius” which seems a bit incongruous with the rest of… well, everything I do. ha.
My work on both seems to be done. Although we may add some uke to ENTR’ACTE.
