I says to him, But, but...Im just musing as to when, what,.... He says Whatever, just let me know. So I ask him the big question that I bet a lot of us indie artists just die to ask, but feel its weird, however you must remember this is Vance asking this, so I ax him: Why?. Mark replies, Because we want to be a part of it. 2) Dan, another major funder for the last album, comes for our weekly coaching lesson with a check for the session and a second check for the Jazz Standards Album. After thanking him profusely for the fresh eggs (hes also a farmer), I reply that Im not quite ready to record. He shrugs and says Whenever. I tell him about my chat with Mark above at #1. He just nods. 3) My close friends son after I sang at his Grandfathers funeral: Unc Vance..... See? You dont need all the other instruments. We want to hear just you... OK. The album. Solo. Me. Classical or steel stringed guitar, depending on the tune. All Jazz Standards. 3 mics. A day or two. Done. Just a late night, dim light, singing quietly at you feel. Done So heres the deal.
