Studio Diary 2022

[quizzaciously]

Guy published the first diary: https://guyfletcher.co.uk/2022-studio-diary-week-1/

As expected, not a terribly interesting article, but I'm not trying to hate on Guy, it's just, like, my opinion. Still, it's fascinating and refreshing to see them recording again after all that trouble we've all been through, that's truly a miracle. And for a glimpse of that, thanks to Guy as always, he's a legend.

I like the picture of Mark with some of the band around him.

Me too.  Great to see them all together again.  Pictures of buttons and knobs aren't really doing much for me, although I did like the sideways electricity sockets behind Jim.

Greg Leisz as guest musician. Awesome pedal steel / lap steel player. Love his work with Bill Frisell.

And again my imagination working overtime

Greg Leisz, so we can expect some nice tracks with pedal, lap steel and dobro too, can’t wait!

This setup picture is more or less what I thought would be happening this first week...or maybe the last week of January.

and I think the brass (Tom and Nigel) also had their own booths,

Fingers crossed there won't be any brass on the new record!

Fingers crossed!

Mine, too!

Interestingly, Jim is playing ukulele right handed but is writing his chord chart left handed. Hmmm a lefty who plays strings right handed. Who else would do a thing like that?!?

[TheTimeWasWrong]

Lovely to see them together again!

Four weeks of recording he says. This is titled as week 1 on Guy’s website so we can expect 3 more updates??
