I ran an ad on Craigslist to help find some musicians to finish my new CD. I met a guitarist named Mark Breton at the same time that Gypsy Carnes contacted me. Well, Gypsy has been very busy, but Mark & I finally worked out a convenient time. He came out from Gallatin, TN Saturday afternoon, and we worked for a couple of hours.

Mark's a very good player, and quite creative. On the song "Give In To Him", he laid some very tasty 80's hard rock licks. Plenty of finger tapping on this track! I was impressed!

Then, we went on to the funky "The End". Mark really got WAY out there as far as playing is concerned. His licks are dark, and almost obscene sounding. I really don't know how to describe this sound except that it's kind of swampy sounding: muddy, but it flows well. To just listen to the drums and lead track, it's horrible. But, when you bring all the pieces together, this solo fits this song style perfectly. What is funny, though, is that the song sounds like it ought to be something you'd hear in some seedy nightclub, but the lyrics are about beign excited about going home to be with the Lord.

I wish that Mark Breton and I had met sooner and got him on some other tracks. But, I'm not redoing solos that I worked hard to get. He made playing look so effortless!

Thanks, Mark! Hope we can hook up again!

Wow, another Mark!? You just can't seem to get away from Mark's can you?

That sounds very promising. You've got me really excited to hear this now. Very glad to see you found some lead guitar help.

Good you have found an other Mark to help you out to finish the guitar leads who had to be done.

Sometimes you can't describe how it sounds.
The only option is to listen how it sounds.
I'm curious to listen how it sounds.

Do you have a drummer now to do the last two drum tracks?
You are so close now to start with the mixdown.

I hope Mark is able to do more guitar work for you.

Have you tried how the new drum kit sounds?
We still love to see a pic

Sounds like we may see a summer relase from Mission of One. Get Sabidoo off the road and back in the studio to finish of those drums. He can work anytime, this is important!

HEY....Sabidoo worked in the batcave yesterday, so HAHA.

Great news that sabidoo worked in the Batcave Monday.
Now the last two drum tracks are done does it mean that you only have to fix two things on the vocals before the CD is ready to be mixed?
It sound that the end of this project is near.

Sabidoo how does the new Roland drum kit plays?
Has the new drum kit a "walking bass drum" too?

That's very cool to get a couple of songs up MySpace.
I am very curious to hear how they sound.

This is all good news. Keep going Alldat!

OK, I'll work on it.

The leads, while being dirty, sound out of place by themselves. But, when you mix in the funky bass and the retro sounding, wah-wah infused rhythm guitars, it makes for a combo that is sure to get you headbangin' psychadelic!

Is that better?

I'll try to get a pic of Mark up this week.
