BEEN THERE! Good luck man, you can pull it off. Make sure you completely demolish one song, just to make them pay for not properly preparing you...

Dizz That's awsome... Its really cool to get asked to do something like that...

Good fer ya Dizz, have fun!

Once a year for the past 11 years I have gone into the studio to help my friend (a non-musician) record an album. He writes lyrics, and I write music for the ten he picks out of his notebook to record. I usually get a couple of musicians (a drummer and maybe someone else) to help out. It's all done that night, no rehearsals or overdubs. Some of it has turned surprisingly good.

Your either very talented.

Crazy.

Or enough of both o make it work.


Our studio trip has been postponed due to the personnel changes.
And too busy learning new material to meet the demands of the gig we have booked.
Not all bad I suppose. Though I'd really like to get that CD out there.

Best wishes.

Actually I find that the first few times a musician plays a song is the best he'll ever do it. They are more focused, more passionate, listening to others more, and haven't gotten tired of playing the song.

Same with vocals. I do only 2 takes of a song...maybe 3 if it's a tough one....and we use the best take with the other take(s) for repairing spots. Any more than that and the passion gets lost in the technical.

So relax and have fun with it. no pressure!

Sounds great to me, just enjoy yourself and try not to overplay!
