Day 4

We began the day in the Kitchen. Everyone was cooking something different. John cooked his regular sausages in the same pan as the Linda McCartney veggie sausages that Godfrey and I were sharing. I had to surround GT's sausages with mine to try to create a dam and prevent the animal fat from mixing with the veggie stuff. Life has its little trials.

We got a lot done today. The idea is to get 3 or 4 songs ready to record on Monday when Pridden returns. We already have 2 done and most of the 3rd. The 2nd song is called "I wouldn't sleep with you" so if you had any concerns about the black humor don't worry.

This is a very productive time. The lyrics and music are still flowing so I guess I didn't jinx it. We are all getting on real well and we can't wait for everyone else to hear the results of this trip. I really feel that the band is going to produce a great CD and that everyone ( OK almost everyone) will be pleased. We begin tracking tomorrow and I get the feeling that we may complete more than 3 or 4 numbers but we'll see. We will record for a week straight, OK maybe we'll sleep a little.

Dinner was at The Farm House down the hill from John's. Lisa and I ordered the chili and asked for it extra hot --- mistake! We'll pay for that later. Godfrey had a veggie dish, naturally, and when he went to the men's room I hid one of Alan's chicken bones in it just to see his reaction. Rock & roll pranks will never die.

So now it's back to the house and in the studio for another couple of hours and then a quick movie ( Needful Things) and off to bed.

2:30am goodnight all
