Eight o'clock and the jernt is empty??? Oh, the skammen.
I'm back (finally) - the session went beautifully. Guy got today's four songs, plus we went back and did full takes on five of yesterday's songs, just to have them. He nailed his high note at the end of Born Too Late, and even did one more full take of the difficult Craig Carnelia song. Juliana did wonderfully on her duet (two takes - in and out) and our chorale did well despite no one having ever heard or seen a piece of music in advance of the session. More later.
I did have my celebratory dinner - Miss Tammy Minoff and Miss Juliana A. Hansen accompanied me to Musso and Frank. Unfortunately, it was the worst Musso experience I've ever had - terrible old waiter who was overtaxed (I actually said to him at one point, "Stay at this table until you take our order") and I had to speak to the host twice about it. That, and the food was just not up to their usual high standards. Oh, well.
