Wow, these guys are really good!

Over the past couple of weeks, I have had the privilege of working with two of the best guitar players in Atlanta. Steve Florczykowski on bass guitar and Michael Westbrook on electric guitar.

They are both working musicians in town and odds are that you've seen them out playing if you are a fan of live music.

Steve plays with a couple of different bands, but I became a fan when I first saw him playing with Last Five Standing. He has played a few times with me too.

I first saw Michael when he was playing with Sam Thacker. These days, he's touring with Nic Cowan.

As always, we were in the capable hands of Eric Tunison from Groove Tunes Studios.

Anyway, like I said, these guys are good. We are making great progress. The new songs sound amazing. The tunes are alot more alternative-rock sounding than my first CD. It's exactly the sound I've been looking for.

Enjoy these pics. They tell the story better than I could anyway... Marc

Yes, I have fully embraced my role as producer. I even brought notes :-)

Michael's pedal board... and, yeah, every one of those knobs and buttons does something. In his hands, it's magic.

Some kind of disagreement... probably over my "production ideas" :-)
