Just a quick update, since it’s pretty late. I just finished recording a song with Tom Holmes and his friend Pete Eisenberg. Pete invited us over to his house beforehand for a delicious meal. It was great to meet Pete, who also happens to be a 3M employee. He’s originally from upstate New York. He moved to Boston, where he met his wife, and they later came to Minnesota when Pete’s career led him to the 3M headquarters in St. Paul.

Pete and Tom’s song is sounding really good so far. With a room full of guitars, how could it not turn out awesome? Pete played acoustic guitar, mandolin, and sang. Tom laid down electric bass and synth drums with his drum machine. We weren’t sure how that would mix in with Pete’s acoustic instruments, but I think it’s going to sound really cool together. I may try adding a little guitar melody and backing vocals, but I think the song is almost good to go. Check back this Sunday for the final mix!
