See This Smile On My Face?

This is how happy I was yesterday to finally start recording my song "A Perfect World", a Steem-Powered project that began almost 4 weeks ago. @Hendrix22 (Brendan) and I set out yesterday morning to Steve McCall's studio to lay down what I thought would just be my guitar and vocals. During the last weeks of rehearsal Brendan couldn't really come up with anything solid to play for leads so I was planning on going it alone. But if your a musician you know that sometimes ideas just come out of nowhere, and Brendan jumped in with his.

I met Steve through homesteading and activism type stuff a couple years ago, and we've worked with him twice before. He's a great engineer who produces very high quality sounds at a fair price, and it was super comfortable being there as always. He's totally chill and sets a good mood with lots of coffee and 'smoke' breaks :) Hehheeeee...

How could I not be in Heaven?

And as we were getting through the song, we just kept getting more ideas, and decided that Drums and Bass were essential additions to the song. It kind of threw a kink into things though because now we needed to write drums, and Steve had them on his other hard drive. Turns out that this may be a synchronicity because @DavidFar AKA: Davood Faramarzi (a really talented musician and producer from Iran) and I have been wanting to work together, so this may be it! Davood is working on some drums right now as we speak! Talk about keepin' it in the Steem community, Worldwide! United in Sound.

Messing around on a beat box drum to try and figure what kind of beats we would want.

It was an awesome day all in all. I cannot wait to show you the song, but as a good friend said to me yesterday "patience is a virtue"...

A HUGE shout-out to everyone in this beautiful Steem community for making this session possible! Thank you, as always, for witnessing our journey.
