I finished the final mix of the song “Breakfast” today - which means over half the album is now mixed. That song began at too-early-o’clock on a weekend morning when just two people were awake and only one of us was excited about it. Even during the wee hours, the kid managed to share how great breakfast is... by the time his sisters were awake for 30 minutes (and fed), the song was written.
This song illustrates how many of the songs on the upcoming album came to life - the kids sing about something normal, the way kids tend to do, then the other kids build on the idea, and finally I build it up a bit and we hone it together.
If we do a CD launch party, I think it'll definitely be at breakfast time (or maybe brunch - a little bit later to make it easier on parents). As long as I have worked around music stuff, I don't think I have ever heard of a CD launch party in the morning.... one more way we're doing things a little differently!
More soon!
"Jon."
The new album "If It's Too Loud, You're Too Old" will be launched on March 14th, 2014.

The Album Launch Begins
Well, it'll be another 24 hours or so before the Indiegogo pre-sale launch goes out the door, but the project is starting to feel alarmingly real. It's ridiculous to feel this way when the recordings are all basically done, but still... it's a trip to watch all the pieces fall into place. And, it has been a long, long time since I last put an album together.
I'll write another post shortly about the Indiegogo presale campaign itself, which will be available at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dad-kids-write-family-album-cd-presale, but for now, here's the video that accompanies the launch.
