29. Personally? I don't like it at all.

Obviously, I can't just fly 4500 miles to Atlanta every time there's a track to be recorded, but I just miss the spontaneity of last minute ideas and tweaks that go into a recording. Remotely, once you do a track and send it off, that's it. When I did the Casey At The Bat parody, I went into a studio here in Düsseldorf dry, and did the vocal track first. I sent it to Atlanta, and they did the musical background, and then the video was done last. Well, actually, the video is always done last, come to think of it. But our keyboard player is a genius, and was able to put the music to my vocal track seamlessly.

With Talking TSA Blues, I was actually there, because the rest of the group had never heard my idea before. But they are all pros, and it was a simple tune. I did the background guitar with the harmonica, bass and drums, and put on the lead guitar (not exactly rocket science) and vocal later while the others went out for lunch. It was a wrap within 4 hours. Not bad for a tune that was only in my head that morning, and none of the others had the slightest idea what they were in the studio for.
