Two more tracks laid down this week. “Don’t Wake the Baby” and “Fluff & Wax”. The former still needs a final vocal track but everything else is done!. And last night I got carried away playing keyboards and lost the thread of what I was doing. (God… I love this keyboard!) So I figured I’d do a completely new and different kids piece. Hence Fluff & Wax. I tell ya, I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through editing. It sounds like two instruments with Down Syndrome having a happy little party. Atonal, arhythmic, completely hilarious.

Been working on my kids CD lately. Got six tracks done now. Actually, the sixth still needs a final vocal track, but hey, everything else is finished. And by ‘everything else’ I mean ten tons of tune-smithing. The thing is so much better than I could have ever hoped. It’s the Ballerina poem, the second kids poem I wrote and I have to admit, I was deathly afraid of tackling it. I’d pictured harps and little tinkley bells and crap. But no, the final track has everything but harps and bells. I even had Nora sing a bit on it. I’ve already started on the next track, which should drive just about every parent on the planet to strong drink. But kids’ll go gaga for it. The kind of thing a six year old would crank to the max and deafen the dog. I can’t wait.
