Josie, Josie, Josie, (like Cary Grant)

Thank you again. I really value your compliments. They are encouraging, which is something I treasure.

As far as the Portastudio, it wasn't a big deal. I've been recording since the late 1960s on reel to reel. I discovered early on that having the cleanest clearest tracks was all that mattered. Everyone I knew who were making demos. They were bouncing tracks and overdubbing till it was just a muddy mess.

I record like a performance. Since my bands were always trios, guitar, bass and drums, why did I need more? I just make sure the vocals are understood. Everyone I ever admired just played a piano or an acoustic guitar and sang.
On a lot of my songs, I recorded the vocal and acoutic guitar with one mic. I still do.

As far as writing lyrics, I’m clueless. Some songs take 20 minutes, some 20 years.
Everything I write has too many words when I start. I usually cut about half of them out. I use as few words as possible. I like to write as if I’m talking to someone.

Sincerely, Wayne, (How about this? You can be in my fan club if I can be in yours)
