Linus & Lucy and St. Thomas Way. Those are the two charts we recorded in studio #2. "Wow, we're better than I thought we were" was a comment I overheard this afternoon. I'll take you back through the day. The morning began with deluxe continental breakfast, followed by a visit to the mall of America. Rides in the Nickelodeon, the Bose and Apple stores, lunch, and quick window shopping were highlights of our MOA stop. Going from Bloomington to down town St Paul was a breeze for me. I am not driving. Michelle, Pat, and Aanders know how to handle themselves in the "big city" traffic. At McNally Smith, we were greeted by Jennifer Parker. What a treat. We had 2 master classes, a school tour, and then we spent time in studio #2. The sound board is state of the art. There are only 40 like it in the world. Wes & Steve treated us like money making professionals. The students got to listen to the tracks and make comments, suggestions, and then adjustments for the next takes. Our combo was treated with getting to record also. The photo is an inside shot of Steve supervising the session and the Blues in the studio. Great job guys! After the VIP day, we went to Dakota Jazz - downtown Minneapolis. Dinner was prepared quite well. I didn't have steak tonight. Just seafood. :-) ok... I also had dessert. It was a classy evening. Fat Kid Wednesdays opened for Haley Bonar. The jazz trio did some playing outside the box. Haley's lyrics were stimulating and her sound was free. You can check the club out on the web. We are now geared up to be the final group of the day for Saturday's festival. All is well.
