Pins and needles would be a blessing
compared to what I’m sitting on waiting for the final bits and bobs of this
album to be completed.
Last week my engineer dropped off the
mixes to Doug who will “master” the album.
Doug is the best in the business - his job is to… well, I’m not really
sure of all he does but I do know that the album sounds even better when he’s
done. Last Friday I met with the art
director to go over the last minute additions and revisions to the album design
and layout. Then, yesterday I spoke with the t-shirt guy to discuss shirt brands
and printing methods. The copyright has
been secured for those songs that I wrote and today I will obtain licenses for
the ones I did not write. Later this week I will also order the other sundry
items that were promised to my contributors.
Then on Thursday – if all goes
according to plans (wait… I had a plan?!) I will pick up the “Master” copy from
Doug, get the final artwork from Jennell and send it all off to the manufacturer
for duplication. Gulp.
You have all been very patient and I
very much appreciate it. Good intentions
and all I thought you’d have your album by now – and I apologize that you do
not. However, I’m not sorry that I and
my production team have put in as much time and energy as we have for this
album because the end product is going to be so much better than I could’ve
imagined.
