WELCOME ! |
Well Hello All!
Welcome to the summer of 2010!
I have been taking some great walks in
our woods with Max the wonder dog,
and I have been playing violin much to
the aversion of my family. But I find
they are much happier when I turn the
amplifier down from 11! Really, who
couldn't love a violin through a
Marshall stack?
Over the July 4th weekend I got to go to the Montreal
Guitar Show. What a treat! I played beautiful guitars and
met the luthiers that built them.
As far as the studio goes.... Lots of interesting projects in
various stages of completion.
Betsi Mandrioli finished up her CD in June... Woo-hoo!
What a wonderful CD in turned out to be. Well written and
beautifully sung. John Ferullo, Jon Swenson, Kathleen
Larkin and Tracy O'Connell sing backing vocals. I know
it's going to be a great listen. It is my hope that Betsi will
plan something to inaugurate this wonderful effort.
Daniel and Faith Senie are also in the recording process
here, and seem to be smiling from their results when they
leave after our recording time. Many wonderful self
penned songs that make you think about the simple things
in life or the bigger picture. It's the kind of writing that'll
really make you think and feel. They also have a house
concert series that has brought in some great talent. Look
on the web for Still River House Concert series.
Jon McAuliffe is in the middle of his project with a fine
collection of songs. He is also proving to be real force on
the local open mic and coffeehouse scene. Strong writing,
vocals, and solid guitar playing, have helped to establish
him as a performer to watch in the music world.
Darlene Bailey has just started a project, and if the CD
sounds anything like the quality of the singing and
songwriting, this will be a winner!
Gerry Ryan is in the middle/end of his second project.
Another fine effort with great writing and playing. We just
put some of Billy Novick's fine clarinet playing on one
song. This looks to be a great follow up for his first CD
"Half Way Home".
Mark Dix is also working on a second project that has hit
some interesting snags, but will ultimately be up to the
fine writing and performing standard that we've come to
expect from him. Adding remaining tracks and mixing and
we should be in fine shape.
Tom Smith is also in the middle of a fine CD project here.
He has been taking time off to finish school stuff, but will
be will be fleshing out the songs over the summer. If you
know and like Tom's endearing singing songwriting and
performing, I know you' ll love this CD when it comes out!
Check back here for more projects to be started in the very
near future.
Look to the studio page to see specifics about the releases
that came out in the past by Marc Bridge ,Perry
Desmond-Davies , Richard Eilbert , Chris Pahud , Mark
Dix , Gerry Ryan , Laura Gold and Kim Jennings (who
we're all proud to say won a Worcester Music
Award...CONGRATS KIM!!!!)!
Sometimes the most fun it's watching the projects fly.
They've received wonderful reviews, as they all perform
out and get their songs out to hungry ears.
And again I must thank every one of them for coming here
to do their projects. I believe we are all using our musical
talents to make the world a better sounding place, and
share songs that will make people think and feel better.
As the this great year unfolds, I look forward to more
sessions, and some more great gigs... as a solo and with
some new formations of musicians that have already
proved to be promising. I'll also be going out with some
new instruments besides guitar, that I've been working on
in my cave over the winter/spring (I'll spare you the violin
for just a little while!). Hope you enjoy these new sounds
as much as I have had in workin' them up!
Blessings to all, Seth
