Oh man, the memories. Gretchen dug this one up. This is the very first tour rehearsal for the tour with Meredith Brooks. That kid behind the keyboards singing backing vocals should look a little familiar.

I’m gonna enjoy these comments, I think.

So, guess who is coming to talk to my Production Techniques class about how to write and record a song? Charlie Peacock.

You know, the guy who produced albums for Switchfoot, Isaac Slade (The Fray), Nichole Nordeman, Leigh Nash, Amy Grant, David Crowder Band, Audio Adrenaline, Sara Groves, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Al Green, CeCe Winans, Brent Bourgeois, Twila Paris, Sarah Masen, Susan Ashton, Avalon, Philip Bailey, Margaret Becker, Michael Card, Bob Carlisle, Eric Champion, Steven Curtis Chapman, The Choir, Michael English, Béla Fleck, Steve Green, Cheri Keaggy, Phil Keaggy, Scott Krippayne, Kevin Max, Cindy Morgan, Out of the Grey, Ginny Owens, Chris Rice, the 77s, Sixpence None The Richer, Michael Tait, Steve Taylor, and about 2 dozen more.

I think we might need to erect police barricades to keep kids from stuffing his pocket full of demos.

How hot is that guy on the B3, eh?

A few thoughts:

  1. The camera guy doesn’t know the difference between a bass and an electric guitar.
  2. Over the past few years, Rosy’s left hand has become the thunderstick of justice on the snare drum.
  3. Nothing beats a real B3. Nothing else even comes close.
  4. That dress is 3 inches away from being NC-17.
  5. This is video evidence of Katharine McPhee asking us to be her house band. This was probably more exciting last week than this week.

I snuggled her when I was 19 and she was one day old. And now my niece is doing this. Could she be any cuter?!

So, I mentioned in a previous comment a song that Chad and I wrote about 4 years ago. I’ve been trying to dig it up to rearrange for small groups, and finally tracked down the demo. I’m posting it here because, well, this seems to be the only place I can put things where I won’t lose them! We originally did this as a demo for Avalon, based on a request from Jody McBrayer. It made it to the final table cut, but then they pulled it. They told us that they were already committed to a song that sounded similar. Then, the album came out and it turns out they were big stinking liars. And that’s why Chad and I do not drive a matching pair of Lexuses (Lexi? Lexium? Beemers.).

Bonus points if you can name the guys who played (1) drums, (2) bass, and (3) guitars. Chad, you don’t get to play.
