3XJ: Joyce and Josh and Jimmy James
Joyce Pierce, Josh and I lumbered into Studio B at SugarHill to cut vocals with no plan at all last night. Fortunately, the universe provided quite nicely.
I had been songwriting, and Joyce had other commitments, so we both showed up in need of a reboot. Jimmy James, the Op's Manager at SugarHill had gotten the vocal set up done, and UberIntern Josh got us set up in the control room. Joyce called her shot and really brought it; by midnight we had the leads and backgrounds, AND harmonies blocked out on TWO songs.
Now, a word about Josh, and Jimmy James.
Jimmy James came to us as an intern, like Josh. He proved worthy in every respect so we hired him to be our total all-around guy, the Operations Manager. Jimmy James is great with clients, has solid engineering chops, and has the uncanny ability to fix anything that's broken short off a femur (and that may be on the menu as well). Jimmy James is quickly moving towards becoming a full-time engineer so I've told him to be on the lookout for his replacement.
Now, I've mentioned Josh many times before, but let it be known right now that he has become pretty indispensable around SHRS, and Dan Workman Music. Josh got tapped as my production intern right after he finished working this summer at the Annual Round Top Classical Music Festival for SugarHill. He consistently goes beyond the call of duty and works for cheap (read: free). He's gotten to where he knows my setup, is great with clients (hugs from Joyce for instance), and is getting to be a help behind the console. Last night he loaned me a dime on top of all that.
(My carrot on the stick with Josh is the PopStar gig!)

You *might* want to clarify when you said he loaned you a dime. There are a couple of different possibilities. ;)

Too bad 'Sexkitten' got cold feet with her comment. (She probably thought Josh is cute and got bashful).
