Name The Song

Hey folks! Today's entry will be on the shortish side as I am pressed for minutes today preparing for a recording session this evening. Tonight, we track Jivka Jeleva, who will play violin/viola on the project. I have planned for Jivka to record on three songs and her playing should absolutely put the icing on the cake in each song. Jivka is a very talented player and she teaches violin at Southeastern's Music School. The great thing about Jivka is that she is an award winning fiddler as well as a skilled classical violinist. My songs will require both styles as Louisiana will feature fiddle playing and Ghostly Writer and Time will feature a classical style of playing.

Tonight, we will also track a very talented musician that I had the pleasure of meeting recently while playing at one of the festivals with my band. Ernie Wilkinson will track accordion parts tonight at the session. Ernie is the leader of an authentic cajun band known as Hot Sauce. They play a busy schedule across South Louisiana. Ernie will bring a real Louisiana flavor to my song Louisiana.

Lastly, I spent 12 hours this weekend in my studio, (not where I am recording Weightless) and I finished a demo copy of a new song. I have not named it. I recorded all of the parts myself and created an atmosphere on the recording that I think most will find very interesting. My plan is to get back in my studio tomorrow to do some editing and then to load it on to my new website where I will ask my fans to listen to it and name it. This should be a cool experience and one that I am looking forward to. I will keep you posted on the progress but I hope to have it up in the next day or so.

People who frequent my site at www.greghaydenmusic.com will notice that I will be loading new songs very often from now on. As I write them and complete them in my studio, I will be loading them up on the site and putting them up for sale as MP3s. In the future, I will combine the ones that got the best reviews for future projects. The days of waiting two years for a cd to be completed are coming to an end. Welcome to the new world in music sales.
