Sunday School -take 1

So today Amanda and I are teaching our first Sunday School class. We have the 15-18 year olds and this year, if you don't know, all the lessons are on the Book of Mormon. It should be a lot of fun and I hope our class doesn't think we're just a couple of boring old dorks like the way I thought all my teachers were boring old dorks.

I'm posting a zip file with some of the hymns I've recorded in it and also one arranged by my friend Micah. If you're in our class, you should download it. I think you'll like it. Also, if you're not in the class download it anyway. I've been showing these to some of the Mormon folks at work and they all say they like them.

I'm in Colorado

We just finished recording all the different parts for the album. The vocals are being "tuned" in the mixing room right now. This has been an awesome day. I'll write more about it in the newsletter at the end of the month.

If you watch the video I posted here, I set my camera on the exact drum set used in it. There wasn't really anywhere else to put it down so I set my camera on the snare.


Here I am using Black Flag's old amp. (You catch brief glimpses of it in the video I posted above.) After we were done recording and the engineer Andrew had gone home for the night, we went back into the studio and just messed around playing Cure songs and old Willkills songs from back when I was in the band.

I'll write more about this whole trip later. It's been such an incredible experience!

Going home

One of the interesting things about knowing lots of photographers is that anything you do can be photographed at any time...as was the case when Scott Sommerdorf drove up next to me on my way home from work the other night.

My upcoming trip to Colorado.

I just put up a post at my other blog that you should check out. I'm excited about the news!
