I think I'll record a CD this year.

[Richard Prowse]

I've never really had much luck with recording. I've played concerts that have seemed to go really well, but when I hear recordings I've made (for various reasons) the result is never pleasing.
I think this will be the year when I make a good recording.
It may be a sort of 'newgrass meets jazz meets klezma with arco' thing. I'll use mostly original material. I'll ask my brother Daryl to play guitar and banjo, and a friend Wade to play guitar.
I have another brother who operates a home studio and seems to get as good a quality as the studios I know around town. I think I'll talk to him.
Okay, I realise that there are things I must work on - like time, tone and intonation; and not playing sh1t at solo time. I'll also attempt to get 'in the zone'.
As they say,
"There's no point in reinventing the wheel."
So, I thought that all of you out there might have some intelligent insights into the recording journey.
So, here's your chance. Let's hear your wisdom.
