Subject: RE: NEW SONG FROM RON BANKLEY
Thanks Dan... it's really an interesting project that started right here at Mudcat, which is where I first hooked up with JT.. one thing did lead to another until we finally got to meet, play, record and generally hang out around Madisonville KY. last April.. There's been 4 or 5 studios involved in the process due to geographical distance... but we got it down to 12 songs.... the main challenge was having it sound consistent throughout, which it does. A lot of credit goes to Quentin Meek, a great engineer/producer and an old friend who I had lost track of for many years. The timing was right... and we invested many hours in the editing/mixing process... anyhow, most of the material was written either in Georgia or Kentucky, but has a different feel than the music down there or north of 49... a hybrid, so to speak , a north wind blowing things in another direction... so we just have to master it in early Jan. then get it out there working for us...
oh yeah, I finished another CD that I've been working on for 3 yrs. called 'Falling Forward' while 'Thunder Thieves' was happening.. so I'll let em out at the same time....
Merry Christmas and all the rest of it
