     Winter is coming fast and now is the time to be thinking about making that demo you will need to get your gigs next season . I usually run 2-3 weeks booked in advance so call early if you are looking for studio time. I have several things going on this winter, including < I hope> some upgrades to the studio decor . Last winter I did an entire equipment upgrade so now I am thinking about a new look ! I want to thank all the groups that I have been and/ or are still working with during this past year. Have seen a lot of repeat business and that is always great , plus lots of new clients and that is great too ! I am going into my 5th year here in Marmora and am looking forward to the next 5 years being even better thanks to all of the great musicians in the area . As always, feel free to call to discuss your projects , or just drop by if you are in the neighborhood . I will be happy to show the studio , as long as I am not in the middle of a session lol !
