Lobster Shanty and the Crab Rangoons

First post, post-start.

This has been an interesting RT...as they always are. Looking back, and thinking about what I'm currently doing, I think an interesting part of this whole process is the realization of your current state of mind. It's incredible how you actually apply your creativity into the music (or whatever you may be working on) in this small time frame. Record Time continues to remind me just how important it is to put time into these events and make the best of it.

So...I didn't sleep last night. By 6am, my fingers were sore, mind was numb, but spirits were high. I have 3 songs written and sent off to my collaborator, Nick (who is playing bass and is going to mix everything). I've thus far used real instruments and amplifiers:

Baldwin baby grand piano
Fender Strat
Vox 4 watt ATV4 amplifier
Dr. Z 30/40 watt Galaxie amplifier
Reeves 2x12" speaker cabinet
Green Rhino Overdrive Pedal
RE-20 Space Echo
MX Pacific drum kit
Paiste Giant Beat cymbals
Tambourine

I've recorded using a Zoom H4N, sm57s, and Macbook Pro.

Be ready for some solid tunes from LOBSTER SHANTY AND THE CRAB RANGOONS. This is going to be a good one. Keep truckin' everyone!
