Good evening, all.
Am I really the only DR to take MR BK up on his invitation to observe the recording session? I spent five -- count'em -- five hours there today, and here's what I can tell you: this is already an album I want to put on repeat play. Lanny's arrangements are wonderful and the 20-piece orchestra blew me away. Or maybe the orchestra was wonderful and Lanny's arrangements blew me away. One of those. I also happen to think the East Coast Singer is sounding luscious on these songs.
It was especially gratifying to walk in as they were doing BK's own number, because it's a beaut.
Many thanks to BK for the invite. I took a few snapshots on my phone and will pull them off later and post them here. If I'd known picture taking was de rigeur at these things (or so it seemed to be today), I would have brought my very decent but unobtrusive REAL camera and gotten a few things worth enjoying. Next time!
