DAY 321 - we’re making a record!

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

nick daugherty session - may 2007 It’s one of those things you dream about for decades, work towards for years, plan for weeks, and watch fly by in just a few hours…

My first day in the studio, and we’re making a record!

It took me just a shade over 10 months to re-write the songs to where they needed to be (which really takes a toll on a 365-day goal, by the way), but the hard work has definitely paid off, and my gosh it’s really happening!
