I plan to save some songs, and go to Nash and be there for the sessions, working with those class players. THAT'S my idea of BIG fun!

Untill then I'll have to deal with the second best option. But I still think getting mail order demos done in Nash is way better than go in my local studio or go to London for sessions, you bet!

Perhaps I should go to Edinburgh, I know a songwriter up there..


You are welcome here anytime Magne..I would be delighted to take you to the studio I use and introduce you. I however disagree about sending stuff to Nashville as being any way better than using a local studio that knows the client personally and will work with them. Even London which is much nearer to me is a better prospect.
Of course I am in the fortunate position of living in a place where there are a number of top pro studios and plenty great musicians to choose from all within an hours travel. I see no merit in going halfway around the world to record in a strange studio with people I do not know and have never worked with. That to me is a very expensive waste of time. In any case Nashville with its homogenised standard factory way of working has never been a mecca for me.......probably never will.
