Music and Talons of Doom or Cats Doth Murder Sleep

Hmmm...It was a wonderful idea to say we were going to blog this cd, and talk about the recording each night , but ye gads! After a full on day of work , we are just not having any time, but I thought I would take a moment to write down a few highlights before stumbling off to bed. Morning comes very early.....

First off, in reverse order of the last couple of days, Malena got up on stage tonight with the Tim Malloys and brought the house down!!! I didn't see that one coming, I know she can rock, I know she can sing, but this as above and beyond fantastic. This is Adam, our producers Irish bad boy band, along with John " Big Sexy " Sjogren and a Scotsman named , near as I can figure " Mullie" ( both of them are making appearences on the cd ) and she got up and did Tom Waits's Tango Till They're Sore, and an old Steeleye Span song called " The Fox" Wow. I say again. Wow. I am still in awe, she made a LOT of fans tonight , little rock-n-roll Diva that she is, blew me away, and I am her BANDMATE for goodness sake! If only I'd had my violin.....

The sessions are going wonderfully, could not ask for anything more. We are loving it, and the energy is right there. Working with Adam, and Leo, our engineer, is pure pleasure from begining to end. When we can stop laughing. I know that this isn't the most detailed description of said studio events, but hey, it's 1 in the morning and we worked all day then gigged. Tomorrow we are back at 10 Am and going till we drop, around midnight. More on the cd ws it develops....

What else? Oh, yes. One thing I HATE, apparently, if you sleep with a cat, NEVER roll over on them in your sleep. They HATE that it turns out and lash out with thier little kittly claws most fiercely . If they catch you in the EYE, you will bleed a lot and freak out your bandmate ( Are you ok, says she ? Uh, that would be a NO says I ) and you will spend the next several hours in the ER. Thanks the gods they now have something called " Liquid Skin" and tho I needed stiches, they were able to patch it up with that instead....The cat, whom I now refer to as " Socket Remover" did not get my eye, but the lid, so all's well that ends well...SO much for getting a good nights sleep before starting the sessions.....( Malena , I will add , is a fine person to have in a crunch, sleep to ER in a matter of minutes she was...)

Love , claws and a bandmate who can rock,
Lorriane
