MANY PONIES CD

Today we finished up the remaining recording & mixing on the CD.
Brought in the fifth guitarist to have a go at the last tune, and he came through solidly for us.
Maybe I'll get him an EMS cap: Emergency Musical Services!

As always Will Russell in the control room was worth his weight in any precious metal you'd like to name. He manages to be honest and upbeat at the same time. Must have studied yoga.

Mastering is next.

We should have some samples up on our website (www.spartacusjones.com) very shortly.
I'm very interested in your response to these tunes, so don't hesitate to comment.

Feeling a little exhausted right now.
But somewhere down the road, if some ponies can be spared some misery as a result, it's well worth the time and energy a hundred times over.

Look forward to hearing the music. Help is getting closer for the ponies.

Thanks, Coyote. It's been a looong project. So having it all but finished seems -- abrupt. Like running into a brick wall at the bottom of a ski slope. (Just speculating, there. I don't ski.)

Thanks to you too, Lori.
I'm working with some pretty good people right now at a horse rescue, developing a therapeutic riding program. Good a place as any to start.

The windmill is over a well that used to pump water to a cistern in the attic. It has not functioned since we moved here over 27 years ago. It's really not big enough to produce much in the line of electricity, but the current state of affairs makes me want to hook it up.
There are several Therapeutic Riding programs in this area...you should check them out.
