I'm recording with George Porter, Mike Watt, Tal Wilkenfield, and Flea!

A friend of mine that I've been playing bass for in New Orleans is putting together a bass oriented children's album, on Disney Records. Already on board is George Porter, Flea, Mike Watt, Tal Wilkenfield, and others that I can't remember right now. I have just been asked to contribute a song that is going to feature each of these bassists - perhaps in a solo format, I'm not sure yet. Tracks are going to be emailed to me, I will record my part, and then send the audio files in to be mixed.

The only instruction I've been given is to "be myself". This is going to be sweet - my name is going to be on the credits right next to Flea's.

I lead a charmed life. I really do.

If I were an envious man, Mr Strange, I would envy you.

I no longer feel bad F'n Apple overlooked you.

You know what, you might want to see if you guys can get Kai Eckhardt on board. I suspect he'd fit right in to this project and his schedule looks open until late December.

Edit: i thought of him because he's from your neck of the woods.

Congrats you must have done something right - hopefully it will lead to other recording opportunities.

If by "business" you mean "paying gigs", then no, things are not booming. I'm still going broke.

Some of you TBers need to buy my records. Seriously, I've got to eat.
