If you've kept up in this blog, you will see that it took a few years to get this project done. My brother Jay and I live about 1430 miles apart; he's in Massachusetts and I'm in Florida. We have been sending half-completed audio files to each other for months and working on them. Jay wrote five of the nine songs, the best of which (in my humble opinion) is Belladonna, which I made a video for (see previous post.)
We also had one guest musician, bassist David Alvarez. David usually plays with The Boogiemen, a well-known band here in Southwest Florida. David graciously came over to The Barn a few months ago to cut the bass track for the song "Brothers to All" when I got stumped as to how I wanted it to go. His fretless playing is sublime.
All in all, this was a great project. We are both very pleased with the results and want to continue to work together on music. Now, let's see how long it takes to do the next one!
