Justin Strackany – “Glen Tipton”
filed under Bands I've Recorded · Music · My Studio
Justin Strackany (shown here) came over last night to see if we could work together (which we do in real life) on recording some demo tracks for his approaching foray into “playing out” again for the first time in years. The result, “Glen Tipton” is a catchy, Nick Drake-ish tune that I find myself listening to multiple times. We did it in about two takes (way to go Justin) and there will be more Justin to follow. If you’re wondering who “K K Venton” is (I certainly was), I believe Justin really meant K K Downing, one of the guitar players for Judas Priest. But the song doesn’t flow as well with that lyric, so we kept the former.
Oh, and yeah , we celebrated with four Cuban cigars, three bottles of wine, and one broken Waterford Lisemore large goblet. Guess who broke it? I’ll never tell…
