LARRY YES! starts a new record...

Larry Yes (& the Know?) No? (non?)
shown here with Adam & Nate (at 'sound(S)FEST!! at the Seco Pearl in Taos, NM), came to the BARN from Portland, OR to make a new record. 12 new songs, VOX, most over-dubs. 7 trips to the Rio Grande (or was it more than that?) Jeremiah Glauser from Taos, NM came up to play drums & tablas on one killer track. Looking forward to a mix in November. Then cut it to vinyl!

ART of FLYing/BACK in the STUDIO

ART of FLYing has started recording AGAIN. Recording OVER the songs that were rejected from though the light seem small: (2" tape is EXPENSIVE)---making up songs to FIT. Guitar sounds & piano sounds --sounding for new songs--seeing what will take shape.

ALSO: we are recording a song especially written for the Waghaal's 25th anniversary Compilation Record. All songs about RECORDS--the working title: JUMP IN THE RECORD (song for Fred Maessen about records). This release should appear by summer 2010.
