Recording: 'Dear boy' (take 1)
Bag-end studio - 13:00-14:00 - P: Dude.
The day before I was listening to Big Mac's Beatles Radio Show, when suddenly he talked about me and challenged me to do a cover of Paul McCartney's "Dear boy", live on air ! Of course I took the challenge and said he will have the song ready for next week's show.
So now I had to work. So today I did the voices for the first verse. (the main voice in double-tracking and the backing vocals).

Bag-end studio - morning - P: Dude.
I think I finally managed to get a decent lead vocal for this impossible Queen song ! (At last. This must be the 4th or 5th attempt). This day I also made the first part of the echo extravaganza that is the middle of this song. (the first part means up until the Christmas choir).

Rehearsal with the New Trio 1
Recording: 'Sunday papers'
Recording: 'Look sharp ! (unrehearsed)'
France 3 basement - 21:00-23:00 - P: Dude. - Present: Dude, Thierry, Arnaud.
The very first rehearsal of the new trio. A lot of it was better than I expected, some things I thought would be cool were a lot harder to do. We rehearsed two songs: "One more time" and "Sunday papers". The first one needs more practice. We also did a loose version of 'Look sharp' (just for fun because I didn't work it out yet). I recorded the last two numbers of the evening.

That afternoon, I did this very simple cover of 'Look back in anger". Then I added the voice to Led Zeppelin's 'Friends', did another pass at 'There there' (it's the third attempt). I think I'm getting close now. I got some time left so I managed to finish up 'Cousin Kevin', and I tried to put my voice into 'The answer's at the end', but I'm sure I will have to do it again.

I also did a cool "number 9" phrase, which I repeated ad nauseum, and the "allriiiiight" segments. Then I did some more vocal fixing on the Who's, I added the choruses to Patrick Lepleux's "Maybe I'm amazed", and I started putting voices down to another of Pat's cover: "Hold me tight". (the middle-8s).

Then I fixed some vocal parts on my Who project.

That afternoon I had some unexpected free time to spend, and I felt in the mood for adding another cover to my Ysn tapes. So I did Real love, as a bare track, just a rich acoustic guitar, with simple vocals, and with two brilliant electric guitars panned hard left and hard right and playing all George's solos and fills. A complete cover done in just two hours.

I'm in a recording mood, nowadays :)
I did two rythm guitars for 'Cheer down': one clean that plays plain chords thru the song, and one slighty distorted which plays palm-muted root notes for the chords. Then I sarted doing the slide guitar solos. I'm not satisfied which the intro one yet, which I'll probably redo, but I'm really fond of my middle solo. I didn't think I could do it this well enough, considering the very little experience I have in the domain of bottleneck use.

It was pure fun, pure energy, pure music, .... God I felt so alive... After that I just couldn't stop: I re-did all those Who vocals I was struggling on for months, and got interrupted in the middle of 'We're not gonna take it'. Otherwise....

The instrumentation in this is done by a 14 year old boy (!) named Lou, which recorded his parts in just one day, without even previously knowing the song !

Recording: 'You never give me your money'
Recording: 'Maybe I'm amazed'
Waux Hall, Mons, Belgium - afternoon - P: the people in charge of the PA system. - Present: Dude, Marco, Jean, Coco, Ozzy, Olivier, Watching Wheels, Filou, Mathilde, Claude Nine, and a whole lot of people....
For my return to the Beatles Day I wanted to do something different than the acoustic set I did last years. So I managed to get Stef and Boz to accept to reform the Power Trio and come with me to blast away 4 wild songs: 'Getting closer', 'Yer blues', 'You never give me your money', and 'Maybe I'm amazed'. To my great pleasure, the choice of the stelist was a incredible success: a countless number of people came to me to say they have been delighted to hear 'Getting closer' live. To me, it was only the realisation of a dream. I feel fucking lucky that what I wanted as a dream as been so well recieved by the audience. Sometimes I'm blessed.
Thanks to Marco, Juan Jose Alva, Jean-Claude Hocquet, and the amazing Mathilde for the photographs.

Very good overall sound (although my voice still hasn't recover). I tried to play on the Gretsch for a while, but it's lack of high notes prevented me from using it. (It sounded great on 'Yer blues', though). This has been recorded.

MONDAY 28th AUGUST 2006
Recording: 'The deracined' (demo)
Recording: 'Black Sabbath'
Bag-end studio - all-day - P: Dude.
The first recording session since June. During the intermission, I moved, leaving not only the One-eyed Jack studio, but also my childhood home and land. It's time for a new beggining in a new place. Bag-end Studio is named like that because it is located on the top of a green hill which look just like the Shire. So be it. It took me a while to accomodate to the new place and actually record something. As an additional change, I permanently plugged my guitar into the Blue Devil. So for now on the guitar signal will non longer be directly injected into the computer. I also unearthed my old mixing board for the occasion.
The first thing I recorded in this new studio of mine is really just a rough demo of a two-intricated-guitars motif. For this I quicly set up the Blue Devil (Hell channel - Heat at maximum - Volume at 6 - EQ B-2 M+6 T+2 - Preset 9) and the GT2 (clean). I used the same setting (except Blue Devil preset 62) for the rough guitar of 'Black Sabbath'.

Waux Hall, Mons, Belgium - afternoon - P: Dude. - Present: Dude, Calico, Coco, Mr mustard, and a whole lot of people....
I wanted to do this for a long time: play at the Beatles Day in Mons, Belgium. I sang four songs, all taken from Paul McCartney's last album "Chaos and creation in the backyard". For 'Too much rain', I sang in duet with Phil Calico. 'Friends to go' I did on the uke, to gave it that George harrison feel Macca talked about, and I did 'Vanity Fair' both on guitar and glockenspiel, while singing at the same time. I just loved that day. full of friendship, good vibes, and the evening show was fantastic.
Thanks a lot to the whole Beatles Day team, to Marco and Clo for the photographs, to Calico, and to all the wonderful Yellow-subians I met that day.
