Can't believe it, tomorrow I start recording for "The mouths of lions". It's a daunting task but we are doing all the drum tracks in a house in 1 day. Little change of plans this time around. I'm not playing the drums. For those that have seen me lead worship before, you will notice to the back left a small man named Ben Lounsbury on the drums. I had to get over my pride, realize that he is 30 times the drummer I will ever be and to hand off the baton to him to record. Did I say he's small? Turns out hes nearly six and a half feet tall and a stud. He also looks like Finn from GLEE.
Anyways, you might be askin, why the heck are you doin all the drums in 1 day? Why in the world in a house? Truth be told, sad things are happenin. Ben will be leaving Wednesday morning for Australia to be a part of Hillsong's ministry. He came back to America for a small family visit, but I kind of interrupted and told him, "Glad you're here to see family, by the way you are playing drums on my record, and by the way, were doing it Tuesday, by the way, learn this songs. Bye."
On to the second question. Why a house? Because my house is pretty comfortable and set up to record. Plus I can walk to the fridge and grab an Arnold Palmer.
I'm gonna miss Ben, being one of my best friends and a huge asset to the worship team, it's a HUGE loss. But God always provides, and He is moving in all of this. But I am stoked for this new adventure in his life being with Hillsong. But because of this loss, I refuse to listen to a Hillsong record ever again :)
Be sure to check back for videos and and picture updates as the days go because I'll be amazed if we can pull this off!
Check out this video marking the beginning of the first record I did.
