Davey Boi Drops by To Confirm Session!

Why my drummer of course.This is a meticulous piece of timing here,He is generally on the road 11 months of the Year with Dennis Lee performing at State Fairs around the country.He is in towns now to do The Florida State Fair and The Strawberry Festival leaving him a week off in between to record for American Impact.He is accustomed to projecting to 10,000 people every night and his chops are spot on hot!And I don't want a cool session job done I want the living shit beaten out of that kit.I can't be having a drum machine on my records.The rhythm tracks are laid out to a clic yes.This type of session calls for that.This is a pop song you see.It is being recorded at two different studios with two producers.Colorama Studios is doing the rhythm tracks and the guitars.Kevin Knoll producing.When completed it shall be transferred to Progressive Music for the keyboards,vocals,and percussion with Kenny Veenstra producing.(Abbey Road South)The whole of it all is pretty exciting because we know we are rolling a hit out.A big hit song.Six months of planning saving up every penny I could to do it.Months of rehearsal on the vocal tracks.An awesome cast selected and two great producers.Playing it out to a weary world that denied me so hard after I proved it to be true over and over.The thing was that the timing was always a touch off.It was not yet my time.There was more to be learned.You have got to want to be successful.You can't be distracted by things that lead the other way.If you can focus and envision who you are that is what you shall be.I had an advantage,when I was a short fat little kid I blew away an audience,I knew this was what I was put here to do.When times are lean I have to find other work.So I don't have to steal.If you allow yourself to get to hungry you will steal.So if you have to move some boxes around in a warehouse it ain't so bad.Some money coming in on Friday to help you along.And you are still looking for a gig.You have to keep everything in perspective.You may be out in the hot sun cutting grass and feeling worn out and rough but did you know there was a person in a wheelchair looking out the window saying "Man that looks like such fun,I would sell my soul to be out there cutting up some grass!"
