early may

mid-week. smack dab in the middle of it.
cinco de mayo was celebrated with a long day of recording with kate york and daniel tashian. long story short, we started "Give It Away" for the third time and it's coming together much better. its turned into sort of a late eighties madonna thing. . . i'm quite in favor of it.
meg is on the set of "Gospel Dream", the (you guessed it) gospel version of american idol. so far it sounds likes it one of those situations where there is absolute talent and beauty, but also some strange undertones. . mainly to do with faith/commerce and such. .. .
anyways, life is good.
we've both been so busy that time seems to be getting the best of us. . . . lucy is working away at figuring out words and learning to 'share'. so proud to see my daughter becoming a little (very little) girl. . .
i head to detroit this weekend for a "country hoedown" with emily west. should be interesting. . . . on that note, i had the pleasure of playing the Opry with emily last saturday. . . . that experience really warrants its own blog. wait for that one, i guess. . .
much love. ian
