6/4/06 – It’s been another productive weekend of writing and recording, some of it beyond what is needed for Steve’s play. This week will be dedicated to the final versions for the CD, printing labels and rehearsing my parts for the stage. Steve and I had a brief call today ...
5/31/06 – Over the weekend I was able to complete the rehearsal CD for Steve and got that in the mail yesterday. Now it’s on to final production for the saleable CD which should happen this weekend. I’ve done some planning and ground work, but it has just been too ...
5/27/06 – Bengali New Year and a very wet trip to Ellis Island left me with a sinus infection, so I spent most of this past week recovering and trying to stay healthy for the next few weeks. Memorial Day weekend has afforded me a perfect opportunity to make final ...
