So you ready for an Akita??

BTW there's a cool little song we recorded on Saturday night that has me singing/functioning on 5 hours of sleep and the nerves of a 12 year old (you don't get to perform for a platinum record holder every day ya know! I'm just a guy from good ole Upstate NY!).

It features:
Myself on vocals (Chihuahua Studio E version)
Jeff on drums (Chihuahua Studio E stereo spaced pair, Mutt on room (to an ART Tubepac), Husky on mono overhead, Daschund on top snare?, SM57 on bottom snare, Wolfgang on out kick, AKG D112 on in kick)
Peter Cappelli (Clam Weezy from The Goonies) on Bob's gold Strat/Tele/nstein, doing rhythms thru the Vibrolux, Mutt on front cab.
Jim Jacobsen doing leads (same guitar/amp) Daisy on front cab.
Bobby Muthafunkin Eli on Boogie bass and Rhodes piano!

here's the SAFE version!!!

There's another version where I freestyle rap on it, Storyville has a verse on it too I think, which takes on the mic industry. I may be the first rapper to ever make a battle rap about microphones from China! However that version will never see the LIGHT OF DAY!! We both used the Studio E Chihuahua, it sounds DOPE on our voices! I believe the vocals went thru the Blue Robbie and the Mutt on guitar cab as well.

I put it up there with the Buddy Rich bus tapes!

BTW I don't know if the room mic was pulled out or not in the mix. It sounds crazy though!

Good job to all.

PPS I also want to say thanks to all the folks at Studio E and the extended ever growing client list there for humoring The Goonies (me and Peter). It was a pleasure to get together with a bunch of fellow musicians who let us just be us!

There was a moment where I was playing guitar (Bob's gold beauty) out of the Vibrolux and Peter was on the drum kit. I'm better at drums than guitar (I'm still learnin ya know?) and I was kind of zoning out, doing my bar chord trick I do for playing guitar and turned around to see Bobzilla himself FEELIN IT. LOL

I was embarrassed and kind of emboldened as well. Bob's got ears of gold. It was cool to hear that my talents were appreciated from somebody as accomplished as he.

Again I'm still aglow and I will now hop on the phone and harass Jim about my CK12 capsule!!


Here's the song!

JJ Audio Mics Jam!

Peace
