OK, Thanksgiving has come and gone (except for my amazing turkey soup) and I am happy to announce that just last night (Nov 27th 2016) Frank and I laid down the bass track to 'Middle of the Night'. After relentlessly practicing that bass line to improve stamina, I also spent many hours writing tons of lyrics and rap, with the idea of taking some 20 pages and throwing out 90% of it, keeping only the best. In this case, the lyrics are geared toward being catchy and cliche', making it, well, catchy and cliche'!
So, today, for the first time in the three weeks I've been working on this tune, I actually get to rehearse vocals along with the bass and drum trax, so I can see what fits where. Very exciting!
"In the Middle of a Dream, cold cold sweat; heart pumpin' rhythm like an air force jet..." Ha ha!
