Last week was a busy one!

As I mentioned in my last post, it was a week on the road. I was in Saskatoon/Dakota Dunes for some training through work.

Can’t wait to get back up that way again soon!

MOAR!

No sooner had I posted my last blog than I realized how busy the past week had been, and something I forgot. And now that I've done my studio time, I'll tell a bit of that story too.

Let's go to the studio!

I've never been much of a studio hound. I much prefer the "leave the mistakes on the table" aspect of playing live and it suits my personality more. I'm not one to obsess over details and - I just find the repetition boring.
