THE STUDIO: Part Three- D











WELCOME TO THE REHEARSAL ROOM!
Top Photo
Drums, baby! And congas, bongos, sound absorber on wall, a few bells, and the sweetest ashtray you'll ever hear!
Second photo
Rack mount units for recording, miking, effects and amplification. The monitor speakers are the only ones being used in the studio right now. The red refrigerator is in the background.
Third photo
Parrot Ice (Paradice- get it?) neon sign, old mirror, and Hawaiian koa wood ukalele. Under them is the "bar" with its window half open and Debbie on the other side.

A long view to other end of the room, this shows the two sets of red drapes Deb let me get for the sliding glass door, and the shorter sets she folded up and taped to fit beautifully on the 8 foot window to the left. In the right corner is one of two light boxes on stands that I designed and filled with dimmers and lights after my students built them, back in 2004, the year I retired. These two boxes latch together to form one rectangular metal box that's easy to load in a truck.
In the middle-back is Deb's synthesizer, amp, and headphone mic.
Then the guitar amps, guitars, mic and stand, foot effects.
And in the foreground is the bass player's mic, with the bass amp and speaker cabinet out of the picture.
