It's been a mad time and then it got even more mad! Went out to Andalucia to record some bits with Ken Stringfellow at El Cortijo; a very very nice studio. Now, the owner, Trevor Morais is a really vibey, chatty guy and he made sure we were treated like royalty; awesome food and really nice, if not overly nice bedrooms. Not to mention the studio! Ken added more than I was hoping for; his distinct vocal cords gave a lot of silkyness to my songs. He also put on some piano (a really peculiar piano, almost harpsicord-like, but great sounding one!) and bass on a couple of tracks. In between we got to hear many a story from old Trev; a bit like that roadie in Wayne's World II. The guy's been around the block obviously. The food was just amazing; not in the last place because of Ken's suggestion to have a paella with rabbit. Never heard of that, but the Cook Anita said "no problemo" and ordered her hubby to shoot one in the Andalucian hills. Poor Fluffy... Can't wait to get on with the mixes, but now I'm happy to be stuck for a day in Malaga; gonna see the Picasso museum and catch Big Star play in an old theatre tonight! Guess who's on the guestlist! Yesss!
