An Update On Mr. Husband (because he doesn't blog)..

I'm excited about the work my husband has been getting lately, except for the fact that he has to be away for it. He was in Nashville last week tracking keys with the "pros" in a studio called Welcome To 1979, for a band called Breaking Twilight, I think? *shrug* Actually I think they're changing the name. Anyway he said they were tracking to analog tape, like the old days, which sounds interesting and reminds me of my analog days in amateur film production.
(The top 2 photos are from 1979).



The bottom 2 are tracking the Vineyard Southeast record in Athens, GA for 3 days this week. Apparently the bass player from Over The Rhine is tracking here too, which is pretty cool.. and the B3 organ (under Jon's beloved red Nord Stage in the bottom right photo) belongs to Widespread Panic, whomever they are.

I always want to be a fly on the wall (or a headphone, since flies are annoying) at these types of creative processes. I'm sure it's interesting, even if I don't understand the technical speak.. but musicians themselves are generally pretty interesting people. I never thought I'd be the wife of a real musician, but it's fun to know that I am.

I'm proud of my mister musician. He's very talented but not boastful, which are the best kind of talented people. Did I mention he wrote the processional for our wedding? Yup. He says that'll be his project when he gets back, recording piano and violin for it.

Oh, not music-related, but I also wanted to mention that Jon and I are going to an induction event at the US Space and Rocket Center in mid-July (for which I'm working on a new "little black dress" project). One of the guys getting inducted manages the collectspace archive of NASA related articles, has been accredited in many books, and also does photography work. He and Jon are e-friends and he got us a seat at a table with some astronauts, ha. So funny. I asked Jon if he'd be nervous to talk to them.. these people are like huge celebrities to him. I'm excited about it though, it'll be interesting to mingle with astronauts and to hear their sciencey conversations. Hoot Gibson will be MC'ing; should be a "hoot".
