A surprisingly warm Monday and I'm stuck at home with a serious stomach bug of some kind. What a drag. But across the Charles in a spacious third floor loft, Aaron is hard at work editing and comping "The Octopus" and working on preliminary tracking for a yet-untitled acoustic song. We also have decided to include an 8th song on the CD called "And There Were Sparrows." It's a quieter atmospheric song reminiscent in some regards to "...Or Other Testimony of Summer Nights" from our first CD. I think we're more conscious of what kind of track-listing we're going to end up with this time around. There' s a nice variety of songs to choose from but we don't to front-load the CD with louder songs or have it drag at the end. It's a bit of an experimentation process but ultimately makes a big difference in how people hear your music. Once the ol' stomach calms down, we'll start tracking vocals.

Man, Billy has been breathing down my neck to get these edits done. He's being a real jerk about it. But then again he is funding this business venture. /-:
