The band and I had our CD release party at Yoshi&#8217;s San Francisco in October. It was truly gratifying and wonderful to [...]]]></description>

There is no way that this man will not win the election and become our next President. And I can&#8217;t wait. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m sitting at my computer, working at my &#8220;day gig&#8221; (my marketing company, Girl Friday), and watching the Democratic National Convention on TV (I moved my office onto the dining room table so I can watch while I work).
I&#8217;m watching the convention on C-SPAN, because, unlike on the &#8220;main stream media&#8221; stations like CNN and [...]]]></description>

Can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been almost two months since I&#8217;ve had the time or the inclination to post anything to this blog. I&#8217;ve been so focused on recording, mixing, mastering, doing the graphics, getting the liner notes, manufacturing, making mistakes, fixing those mistakes, spending way more money than [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;ve read Part I and Part II of Mixing Your Vocals, you&#8217;ll know that laying the musical foundation – a great mix on the instrumental tracks - will give you a &#8216;frame&#8217; for your vocal track.

I had decided that on one song in particular, an accordion would add a beautiful ambiance, a little bit of sparkle, to an already great arrangement that Gerry Grosz wrote for me.
