The college rock band impressed us with it's Pearl drum kit. Setting up mics to get the best sound is a challenge we seem to enjoy. When you get the tight sound of the kick and the snare breathes you feel good. The guitars and bass were set. The cheerful singer took the mic last and could he belt it out! Some snaps, tracks and hours later, they were done. This must be at least the tenth rock band we're recording. Wonder how many of them will stay on with music, how their music will evolve, will they ever think Hindustani or Karnatak music rocks?

Meanwhile Ram and I went to meet a client for a jingle. Turns out he's into social causes. So heart warming when you meet people who care. I remember such people with such gratitude. Especially when I had to take an auto home and 5 of them turned me down! Looks like owning a vehicle, ecological concerns apart, is the smallest thing you can do to survive the indifferent public transport. Anyway we need to start out on the jingle.

My sister's in town from Hyderabad, so I roped her into writing lyrics for some tunes I have ready. She's been happily at it. Hope we can record something soon and put up a sample to share with our readers!
