More Music, More Turkeys

We're in California, continues...

Gband032308I spent all day yesterday transferring some of my old music from cassette to my computer. After releasing Immortal I'm really inspired to release more music. Although it's not in the Magnatune Top 10 anymore (wah!) I was happy to see it is still in the Top 50 at Number 27 and my other album Delirious is at Number 30.

Icecastle032308And I'm VERY excited to see Kirsty's amazing album The Ice Castle is back to Number 1! Yay!

Spending the day with my very old music is a serious emotional experience. I'm amazed those old cassettes from the early 80's still work. I transferred them using GarageBand because I wanted a quick and easy way to get all the music onto my computer so I can familiarize myself with it and decide which tracks will get released and which won't. Then I'll transfer the open reel master tapes onto my computer in high quality and John and I will remaster them the way we did for Immortal a few months ago.

While I was working the turkeys made their way across the hill in front of the house right outside my window. I saw the male do his classic puff up his body to twice its size and spread his feathers like a peacock. He ran away before I had a chance to take a photo of him, darnit. It was spectacular. Hilarious!
