Beat Down!

The drum tracks on our new CD are recorded, and work will soon begin on laying down the bass, guitars & vocals.  Day 1 began Friday night setting-up the instruments, and with some random jams & warm-up songs, we dialed-in the sound levels in the control room and our headphones.  It was great to hear all our parts without blowing out our eardrums! Day 2 was the four of us playing together like a live gig, only without the drunks (besides us), just to get the drum tracks in the barn.

The new CD, code-named "Smell the Sock", will feature eight original songs by HWY 13. Our band lineup is:

• Danno:  Bass Guitar, Lead Vocals
• Dino:  Lead & Rhythm Guitars
• Tim:  Lead & Rhythm Guitars
• Bob-o:  Drums

Also want to acknowledge the following contributors to our efforts on this CD:

• Chris at Belle City Sound:  "The fifth HWY 13-er".  Owner, engineer and producer extraordinaire!  Chris has a great ear for music, got a feel for the band's groove and is working his magic in recording & editing.
• Peg & Lou's Bar & Grill:  Friday night fish fry & burgers.  Great food, cold beer & soda, and service with a smile.
• Park Inn Restaurant: Saturday breakfast after 11am and dinner after 7pm.  Great food served on "musician time".

Thanks to all of the above, and to all of you, for making this CD happen.  We'll keep  you posted as things develop.
