Before she left, Nan managed to lay down a sweet drum track for the new Jon DeRosa/ LD Beghtol album. Jon also managed to lay down a little bass and a nice classical guitar part. Looking forward to next week's cello session.

Tonight the Wowz are slated to master their latest full length album. It's been a little more than a year in the making, on and off, but I'm very excited about the direciton of this one. All the tracking was performed live and in one room. This proposed a number of unique challenges but in the end I think it gives the album a very distinct vibe. http://www.thewowz.com/
