Hey, wait a minute! Somewhere in the midst of all the ‘mayhem’ here at Squirty Records, we found time to finish recording Mt. Diablo String Band’s first effort; in two days! (First entry about the first day of recording is below.) In fact, this blog is being written literally as the final mixes are being completed.

Ok, so it is “old-time” music, which usually means, as is the case here, that the recording was completed live in the studio (no overdubs). We just set up a couple of microphones and went at it.This means you can’t go in and fix any errors, etc., after the fact (which fixing is the status quo these days). What we played live, all together at once, is exactly what you get to hear when you get your copy of the recording!

Mt. Diablo String Band’s first recording will be submitted to the duplicators shortly and will be available here at PleasantValleyMusic.com and at the band’s personal appearances, including advanced-release purchase at the CBA Father’s Day Festival in Grass Valley, CA this June.

Check in here for updates on when the recording will officially be out.
