Such a good day.

We ran through all the songs on the album. After each one we all shared ideas and notes then worked on them. We don’t get to do this sort of thing at our regular weekly rehearsals. We put in about 5 1/2 hours today.

Oz Fritz – who has recorded Tom Waits, the Cramps, Elvis Costello, Primus, Iggy Pop, Ornette Coleman, The Ramones, Herbie Hancock, William S. Burroughs and more – and is recording and co-producing this album was here all day giving his input. Very helpful.

He was impressed and is excited about the work.

Now we’re off to dinner. Breakfast and dinner are being prepared for us each day y the OAEC staff.
