Recorded a few last vocal tracks before Bil started mixing on Tuesday night. He & wife Patricia have made me feel so welcome & eased some homesickness with kindness & fried chicken dinners. It's so beautiful here-their place is at the highest point in Nashville. It used to be the Moose Lodge, an old road house with a bar and an amazing dancehall, where folks like Patsy Cline & J.J. Cale came to sing & hang out. Feeling all that history around is quite inspiring!
Week of 11-17

Monday got to work with first class vocalists, Angela Primm & Chip Davis. They recorded several amazing background harmonies. And really added some heartbreak to the ballads (& even got a little weepy singing them!)
And Some Fiddle!

Andy Leftwich, violin player for Ricky Skaggs and Three Ring Circle, came in today, just off the road with Ricky ( & bass player Mark Fain) to put down some fiddle tracks. Beautiful! I could listen to just the violin all day long.

Sept. 8-10 Recording Vocals

September 10, 2006
It's much harder work now that the guys put down all their tracks & I have to sing by myself! Singing several hours everyday, trying to bring the emotion out in the songs. Bil is wonderfully demanding & it is a joy when he finally says, "OK, good, come in & have a listen." He is not only a brilliant producer, but an amazing teacher.
Sept. 5-8 Working with Nashville's finest!

At Bil VornDick's Mountainside Studio working with wonderful musicians, Russ Barenberg (acoustic guitar), Johnny Hiland (electric guitar), Mark Fain (bass), and Bob Mater (drums). These guys are so talented and also a lot of fun to work with. Nashville weather is 85 degrees & sunny. Still like summertime down here!

Happy Summer everyone!
I’ll be playing a few gigs later in the summer on & off Nantucket that I’ll let you about know soon.
Right now I’m taking some time to write and work on new songs. I’ll be recording in Nashville this Fall with Grammy winning producer/engineer Bil VornDick,
http://www.bilvorndick.com who has worked with Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck, Ralph Stanley & Bob Dylan among others. Pretty thrilling for this small-town girl. I hope to have a new cd available in 2007.

December 18, 2005
We got out to see a wonderful show last night at the Town Crier in Pawling, NY (where I'll be on Wed.) This awesome duo from Austin wowed & then soothed the crowd with a couple of Chip's older hits, "Wild Thing" & an exquisite "Angel of the Morning" amid many great new songs from "Red Dog Tracks". The title track was one of the most stirring, next to “Oh Set a Light†when they had the audience singing along like a gospel choir. We had seen them before in Austin & it’s a real treat to have them visit up here. They were joined by a great band including Andy Cotton, bassist from Brooklyn, and guitarist Johnny Platania of Van Morrison fame. We got to shake hands & thank them after the show & hope to bump into them again in Texas soon!
