Just finished a very great day with singer/songwriter Jason Landry. We continued a project I originally engineered last spring -- cutting rhythm tracks with Chris Axelrad, (drums), and Anthony Sapp, (bass). Today we had guitarist Sam Arnold, (Opposite Day, Honey Brown, Sarah Sharp), TOTALLY raise the bar on three songs by playing some truly beautiful and inspired guitar arrangements. Before Sam got involved, I felt that Jason's songs were good. Sam and Jason together have an unbelievable chemistry, and I'm getting the feeling that this project will be unusually good.

On a tech note, I used a John Hardy MP1 pre amp for the first time today on electric guitar and it is unbelievable. It is 'open' sounding and has tons of headroom, which translates into a very punchy sound. Another inspirational tool.
