Here's a New Song from Keith Morgan
Happy Ho Ho,
Well, it's two days until xmas and I just finished Keith Morgan's mix. The song is called "I Love You Like My Own" and it's written as a gift for his stepdaughter who's mother he is no longer with.
On this track Keith plays the acoustic guitar and sings and I am playing bass, electric guitar, drums and piano. I also wrote this arrangement based upon Keith's solo acoustic version.
The song is great. It has a really G'n'R power-ballad thing going on. Please give it a listen and tell Keith what you think.

I Love You Like My Own
What a Great Year it's Been
Well, I haven't posted much for a while so I thought I'd add an entry. I'd really like to be more regular with this blog but duty calls here at the studio.
It's been a very busy year. New albums, new songwritters, new musical tallent. If you stay tuned I promise to post some cool, fresh tracks over the month of December as my gift to you.
On of the things that has kept us busy around here is the new video suite we built for doing YouTube videos in support of the new album Reality Takes a Vacation. We even built a green-screen room for doing some cool video trickery.
I'd like to take a second to mention the guys at Compuquest 2000 for the truly incredible HP workstations they set us up with.
Stay tuned.
The Bob & Doug Show on Saturday was a smash! They broke all records for people, bar sales and the amount of money in the 50/50 draw. Incredible.
Me, I was tired as hell. For some reason I wasn't sleeping well for a couple of days so by the time I got to the show there was a tremendous haze hanging over my noggin. And, the elevator was broken. So I had to hump all the sound gear down to the basement the hard way. Wasn't ready for that. Thankfully Sandy Robertson was there and we coordinated it nicely.
Sandy is the fellow who booked Bob & Doug while they were here. A long time friend, they also stayed at his home.
But that's all behind us now. The Boys have returned to England as of Thursday.
I must say that what these blokes do, sing/gtr with karaoke backtracks, is pretty amazing. There is an incredible suspension of disbelief that accompanies their shows. People know it's backtracks, but they still love it.
You Guys Rock!
Last Bob & Doug Show Tonight
Good Morning Gig Fans,
Well, this is it. Today is the final gig in a series of 4 that I've been producing and mixing for the British duo "Bob & Doug". It should be a good gig, too.
The local media, who so far were only drinking with us, have donated a few mentions in the paper and on the radio this week. The ol' Canadian Legion should be really hoppin' tonight.
Ms Knight has also decided to come along and video the performance so she can get some footage to experiment with in the new editing suite we've built.
I'll post some pix and maybe an audio track in a day or so, for those of you who are interested in the whole live show tech thing. The tech will be simple but powerful and it will most certainly fulfill the bass end requirements for "dancin' fools".
Here's one from their first show.
We've also spent a few days in the studio doing a CD for them. It went so well that we've actually got enough tracks for 2 CDs so they can release another one to sell at there shows in 6 months or so. Sweet.
