I spent the weekend in London with Gwyn working on some new material. I had about four songs prepared - usually I do all the music, throw some lyrics down to give Gwyn an idea and then when we get together he plays with the words - or brings stuff he already has - and we add his dulcet tones to the recording. All on my little laptop! Isn't technology wonderful? Anyway we did six songs - one something new Gwyn brought and that I now need to go back home and add music to, and the rest using our tried and tested formula. And wow. One of them - There's so much more between us than a thousand miles of Texas - came out brilliantly. It was one of those backslapping, high-fiving moments when you just know that what you did was good work - and something that was bigger than each of us. The others aren't too shabby either. Now the question is - what does the album look like? We've been tweaking it, adding here, subtracting there to get the strongest set of songs together. Maybe we should just leave well alone or maybe we'll tweak it one more time. Anyway when I've finished mixing these songs I'll post them so you can hear them - and let us know what you think. On my way back to the States now. I will say I'm exhausted.
