This picture should really be bigger. My J45 Retro…….
After I had my White Strat stolen in ‘94 I promised myself I would never fall in love with another guitar, but then I met you.

Tracking. Santa Monica, CA EMI Studios. January 9-10, 2012
Went in with a new configuration of characters/conspirators:
Sean Hurley on Bass. JJ Johnson on drums. Doyle Bramhall II on guitar. S. Husky Hoskûlds behind the console. Gari Askew II behind the lens. I hadn’t played with JJ and Sean together in quite a while, so I was looking forward to feeling that old feeling with new songs. Doyle, I’d never played with. I’ve admired his playing for a while, so I just called and he said he’d love to come down. Couldn’t have had more fun. I got so caught up in the joy of it all I even went a little crazy and Ustreamed some of it.
Great Days.
People, I see the finish line.
Songs recorded: “Junkie”, “Sunshine of This Love”, “Shelter (Version 2)”, “These Are The Things”

Recording with John Mayer and Chad Franscoviak. John and I are both wrapping up our respective records. He hadn’t heard any of mine. I hadn’t heard his. We each gushed about the other’s. There must be something in the water because there are so many similarities in tone and intent between the two records. While JM was playing guitar on “Our Day” here in LA, India.Arie was singing on the same song in Seattle, so if you felt a shift in the universe, I think I know why.
Had I rushed the making/releasing this record, I would never have had the opportunity to have two of my favorite artists add their magic to my songs. I guess haste really does make waste. Mom was right after all.
I’m about 10 lines away from done.
Songs recorded: ”Our Day”, “I Can’t Wait To See You”, “Sunshine Of This Love”
