She's Out Of Sight 'Cause I Don't Mind

June 17th, Leum brought to the studio a lovely, plaintive reflection on lost love. He recorded a solid first take, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, then invited the rest of us to fill out the production as we saw fit. Margaret added some background vocals the same day, and we had a spare, lovely ballad.

Of course, I (Kevin) couldn’t leave well enough alone. :) After everybody else left, I recorded a couple of takes on drums and bass, added space for a lead of some sort, and tacked on another chorus.

Later in the week, Kenny, Margaret, and I used a band rehearsal slot that would otherwise have been canceled to add a couple of electric guitar tracks, tambourine, and (on a whim) a keyboard sax solo! Margaret recorded one take, I recorded another, then I used some DAW shenanigans to pan them left and right and add a phantom harmony sax up the middle. :)

Hope Leum likes what we’ve done with his creation!
