Hope everybody is enjoying their holidays! I’m just back from NJ, where I spent a happy week with my parents, my brother and his wife, and my girlfriend. We ate some fabulous meals, played Scrabble, and reminisced a lot. Now that I’m back in Nashville, it’s time to select the songs for the new Swan Dive album. It’s not easy, because we have twenty possible candidates, out of which we’ll probably go with twelve, maybe thirteen. Molly and I will be listening a lot this week, and deciding which ones fit together the best. On Sunday, we’ll join with our producer Brad Jones to begin mixing . . . more as it develops!
