RECAP:

Slower day today in the studio. Mick had a few phone calls he had to tend to and it split our time up awkwardly. We all ate at Erewhon together when they arrived and went over the plan for the day. I set up the first track, Mick had already started writing and needed a few more minutes polish up the verse. We laid down the verse and hook leaving the second verse open for a feature and stopped recording. I cleaned up the track and bounced it out for Mick. The rest of the day was mostly spent on and off writing to other tracks and we wrapped at 6. Day 2 in the books with 3 solid new songs !!
