Had another session with Al today

Had another session with Al today. We had a final look through the string arrangements for Sweet Lady Life, a ballad which I loosely based on the Streets of London by Ralph McTell. The combination of piano and strings works well and I intend to couple this with multi-layered vocals, including a sort-of call and response harmony similar to that which Simon and Garfunkel use in their version of Scarborough Fair. It'll be lovely when we're finished with it!

Then we worked on tightening up the Hammond Organ tracks for Reality Changes - an awesome 4/4 piece in a similar style to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - and In The Beginning - a heavier rock style song depicting a creation myth. This piece features the more-than-awesome talents of Rick Fenn (lead guitarist from 10CC). Both tracks are sounding fantastic and are almost ready for mixing. It won't be too long until I bring Al Park to Brad's studio and we import his tracks into the studio pieces. Looking forward to that one!!!
