December 2, 2006: Hold The Phone

You never know what you're gonna get when the Prince George basement studio is open for business. Today Bob, via his alter-ego Bobby Delicious (he did the dishes at Frisch's), unveiled the funk song he put together years ago and has been carrying around in his head ever since. The song: "Hold The Phone". Is it funk? Is it rap? Is it hip-hop? Is it be-bop? Only time will tell, as we build on Bob's ideas for the song. One thing for sure, you won't hear lyrics like, "You're tore up from the floor up" and "Save the drama for your momma" anywhere else.

The bass line drives the song, so to get started we recorded the bass and a canned drum loop, plus Bob's scat vocals and the background chorus, performed by the PG singers, Mike, Doug and Debbie. Very funky, very loose and lots of fun. Funkalicious.

We also listened to the most recent mix from Alan of our last recording, "Rhythm Of The Radio (Favorite Position)" and came up with a couple of ideas for some minor tweaking. All in all, though, the song is close to being finished. We also have a little work remaining on the first recording, "Bad, Bad Man". Next in line is "Call Me" and, of course, "Hold The Phone".
