In Honor of this Blog's forty-seventh posting we have decided to run a contest.
Simply leave your comment below in the "comments" section on who you believe this is that Thomas took a candid photo of literally through the keyhole from the control booth and you might win a personal email from one of The Good Yeggs (providing that we do in fact have your email address).
To be fair we will give a few clues. This is Spike Yegg composing the text so I will clue you in with some personal remembrances of our mystery guest from my very personal memory.
1.) - This person taught me all about "schmaltz" back in the heady days of the 1980s
2.) - In a great act of compassion and selflessness he/she once brought to my home Ricola "All Natural" cough drops, Robittusin and Cloraseptic when I had a bad cold, they were thrown at me but brought to me unannounced, this is a big clue as obviously this person was/is a drug dealer
3.) - We knew each other in high school and after school one day my bell rang, the person in question forced himself in demanding to be fed. I proceeded to make Fried Chicken Soup (thats Lipton instant chicken soup mix made in a pan).
Good Luck Folks.
Here I am tracking behind Thomas' Drum Kit, Joe caught me in mid blink so No I am not sleeping. It's all about the MAGMA t-shirt anyway.
The only screwing around here will be when Thomas had to unscrew the mic stand for his condenser microphone used in the Guitar ISO booth (closet) after his Fender tube amp was emanating a weird buzz. No time to start troubleshooting during a session but fortunately like any studio worth its own salt HesDeadJimStudios has about a dozen amps to offer, I think Thomas switched to a Music Man.
We have all heard of A Boy and his Dog. Well, This is a Man and his Bass. Joe proudly wielding his 1959 Danelectro Shorthorn. The Danelectro Longhorn was used for tracking, Joe brought the Shorthorn over so Thomas could set it up.
Words cannot say how much I Love This Man so i will put it into numbers instead. 67392876201
Mr. Franklin Poska popped by the night before our recording session to add some always tasty guitar stylings to two of the tracks we are working on "Come Up And See Me Sometime" and "Tuna Fish". Its not like he didn't want to see me and Joe he just didn't want to see me and Joe.
OK, so not to bore anyone who may happen to be reading this with all the serious tech talk above lets make this a bit more lighthearted. On this sunday the third of our almost consecutive sessions The Good Yeggs (individually and as a whole) got a bunch of work done, Firstly we recorded pretty much "Live" recordings (only 36 overdubs this time) of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Tell Me" and Johnny Cash' "Folsom Prison Blues" for our website so we can sell our wares to the unsuspecting public and grateful pub, club and biergarten owners, mended a glitch in the backing vocals on the bridge of "Little Brown Valise" and finalized a master of said song, also recorded was a Full Blown version of Thomas' song "Unfaithful Lady".
We also learned that as a band collectively that we are much more "Boozers" than Beer drinkers. The Beer's quickly lost their luster and even though we only had one Manhattan apiece they hit the spot with much greater satisfaction. also the conclusion was made that we could drink many bands under the table, well one at a time of course.
