Second Wind Sessions Diary - how we're spending our Summer vacation - June 12, 2008
Sheiks Producer Phil Bloch and engineer Andrew Bush spent the last two days at Grandma's Warehouse working on the eight tracks we laid down before the end of the year. The tracks "What's Holding Her Up", "Memphis Time", "Day To Day", "Medicine Man", "Nola La-La","You Bought The Ticket". "Blind Man's Trick", "Good Enough Ain't" are ready for some percussion tracks in the next few weeks before we go back into Grandma's Warehouse and lay down bed tracks for "Feet Are The First To Know", "It's A Dog's World", "Where There's Smoke" and "Alabama Chrome".
We're running about six months behind schedule, however we're back on track - the beginning of the year will see the first tracks released, and by this time next year all 24 tracks should be completed.
'til next time!

Could you hear the foot steps in the night? - May 10, 2008
Sheik Rick Solem escaped the Second Wind Sessions long enough to play a private event at the Emeritus Vineyards in Sebastopol, CA last weekend.
The Vineyard owner enjoyed Rick's work in the 90's with Dave Alvin. So Rick, drummer/producer Phil Bloch, bassist Lawrence Baulden and
guitarist Zeke Zirngiebel whisked their way up to California Wine Country for the weekend.
Upon returning, Rick's comment...."We're old, we're grumpy, and we don't travel well..."
Ah, the Sheik's motto once again rears it's head!
