Banquo album: getting there!

I received the rough mixes of all of the tracks we recorded for the new Banquo album yesterday. Now begins the ardous task of listening to all 34 takes with a critical ear to determine which ones are the best. No small task -- that's over 3hrs of listening! Our production meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday when we decide our next steps to complete the album. It's been a lot of work and will continue to be for some time yet, but it's going to be so worth it in the end! :)

FernFest is on Sunday. Amazing how fast that has come up.. time is just slipping right by it seems. I'm looking forward to the gig -- I get to wear my new tricorn (aka pirate) hat for the first time in public. :P

We've got a great set planned. We decided to aim for our livelier material for the event and it's surprising how much we actually have in our repertoire now. The way it's worked out I'm mostly playing percussion at this gig, but I don't mind.. it's less to carry to the event!
