What a fun day that was, yesterday. We had the absolute pleasure to record Rebecca Folsom on the ‘Book of Light’ track for the upcoming release. Her vocals were amazing. Rebecca brought such another dimension to the song. Accompanied by maestro Quinn Johnson on piano, her interpretation was fascinating. So now it’s down to editing and getting the song polished. There are so many ways to go. Since this song is the title track of the album, I am going to take care and time in editing, mixing and finishing the final product. Any true musician will understand that. So, I will post some outtakes here soon…
