more at audities...

late February...bownesian's percussionist Mike had to lay his tambourine trax... the session started well but soon devolved into mayhem as the pins in mike's (actually, Leah's!!!) tambourine began to, one by one, fly from the instrument... followed shortly by the little metal discs... like shrapnel throughout the studio... David burying his head in his hands, saying, 'glad u guys brought quality gear out...' as the tiny deadly dics flew mere inches from the $10K mic.

Friday the 13th at the Palomino...

...was anything but bad luck. Sherry-Lee and her handsome fellers, plus the Garter Girls burlesque troupe helped ensure that. Notice the enthusiastic facial expressions of the band members.

Some more photos from the recording. The whole thing happened 

over about 4 days - 4 

very long but incredible days (10 am to 2 am kind of days),so we were all a little frazzled by the end.
