Support Crew Strawberries

Today was a day for the At Dusk Extended Family & Support Crew to shine.

I arrived home from a great warm-up breakfast with Meri at Genie's, only to find that Amy had brought over strawberries, tangerine juice and champagne for mimosas, as detailed by Will. The strawberries were seconded when Ethan and Meri returned from a 15-pound berry picking binge at Sauvie Island. And Amy drew a cartoon of our lives. It's on our refrigerator. Not as good as her joke, but still sun nice.

Ethan made his second musical tour of duty today, as he strolled with the grace of a winged gazelle from trombone to accordion. As for that, don't believe all of the Lawrence Welk propaganda - the accordion and its cousins is a beautiful instrument, and I'm excited to reclaim it for our record. Just ask Paul Simon, Astor Piazzola, South Africans and - if you have to - the French. Plus, Ethan wears a wig if asked to while recording, which really ups the yuck-yuck-factor after several hours of recording.

The sun came out today at night. Or what should be night. The day was cloudy. 7pm on was looking pretty fine and light.

The SM57/Monitor tagteam continued its march of victory today - Banana Split/Too Far is nigh on vocally complete.

Sopranos - as ever. Plus, Meri taped "Extraordinary Cats" off OPB for me tonight. At my request. I also wrote several kitten-themed checks today to pay for our utilities. I'm a boy.

And tomorrow brings us back into the real-tracks studio, which I'm ancing for. Ancing means to be ancy, as defined by me, and whoever I point a gun at. P.S here we come!
