Start it Again (Hello Beautiful)

There is a precursor note on this new tune from Dave which you can read and here is the very first scratch track for Start It Again (Hello Beautiful). Obviously by the title we’re looking at a love song, but in contrast to what Dave said in his note many songs he starts are not love songs at all, as compared to many writers who a truly One Trick Pony writers and every song is a contrived love/relationship poem and melody.

Here is a bit from the Movie One Trick Pony which all song writers can relate with if they have ever had any experience with record companies. (notice Lou Reed playing the part of the suck up “yes man” -- and just in case you have never heard of Albert Schweitzer before read here)

Normandy

normandy1A song we’re considering that is to be a solo cut of Dave. This song is following the theme of Mary Makes a Radio, being that it is set in WWII.

We may not follow through with this tune, but we’re posting it anyway.

Update: After listening to Normandy again this AM, I can’t honestly understand why Dave would not want to go forward with the finishing of this song. I for one, love it. Those who find this page please comment your thoughts -- thumbs up or down.

Looking forward to adding some guitars and bass to Normandy when I get back from Sacramento (that’s is where we have decided to go for our trip).

So YES! We are going forward with Normandy and I will master this first scratch track so we can keep a record of it’s development.

Mary Makes a Radio Finished

Mary Makes a Radio is now finished. Dave mixed this and I am in the process of mastering it. I’m attempting to make our masters as loud as possible without destroying them with compression and clipping.

This is done but will be remastered possibly bringing down the loudness somewhat for more dynamic range.
