August 19, 2008 - Charity Water

I've told you about him before, but Scott Harrison and his Charity Water are worth taking another look at - amazing: http://www.charitywater.org/mailings/september08_watchtrailer.htm

Hooray - we're actually getting a nice guitar sound in this little room. Small victories, people!

Quiet here lately, I know.... busy elves in the studio right now, working on this film score. It's very exciting, but nowhere nearly as loose and freewheelin' as making a record. Actual deadlines (!) and more people to answer to and work with. I haven't been back to South Carolina in almost a month, and I have a family project going on there that needs my attention. That's not music, but it's just more of what's making me busy and slightly overwhelmed lately. So please forgive the light posting. I'll try to tease a few pieces of music from what's coming next as we go along, and maybe a picture or two from the studio. ...and don't forget to check out Cuba

We're still at #1 http://cdbaby.com/cd/jude4 , but no reviews... strange, so many of you have written me here or on Myspace... After the "Sarah" recordings came out, you guys made it a top seller, which led it to France, which led me back over there, which eventually led to "Crescent Heights Shuffle" being used in a Miller Ad. With "Cuba" I'm hoping that , years from now, a newly free Cuba will license and re-record the chorus of the title track for its tourism commercials. Would be nice, right? I might even donate it, depending on how free they really are :)

Today I'm taking delivery of a "portable" air conditioner in order to make the one-room studio I'm trying to record in bearable. It's expensive, so if it works I'll recommend it, and if it doesn't I'll tell you ALL about it. What else... Got to get a piano working in here, as I've found that going back and forth between the keys and the guitar is really the way I write best. Oh, and I SWEAR that I'm booking shows late in the Fall. It's hard because of my hands, so I'll probably only do 2 or 3 shows at a time, and we're looking for schools to play to subsidize the air travel, so you never know if I'll see you in a big city or a college town...
