Cosmic Glue - The Magic Begins...

February 23rd and I'm preparing for a couple of studio sessions starting on Monday. We'll be laying down some acoustic and electric guitar parts, plus bass and a whole slew of backing vocals.

To keep everything up to scratch, I've included some of my diary jottings.

...and here's the website... Cosmic Glue Web

A good positive start.

Studio at 3. Laying down guide vocals and guitar for the new recordings. Ran through Change Of Heart and once again we saw huge potential in the track. An epic track of Baker Street scale.  Just Mike and I. We finished at around 9. Left halfway through Boy in the attic. My voice was shot and the energy had dropped. Mike had a long journey home.
