Last weekend, my band has gathered together to jam out a wedding song for our drummer Lester. He has written the lyric for his wife-to-be Therecia to sing. Melody crafted by our guitarist Jason and I played the role of fine-tuning the song to suit Therecia’s vocal style. My vision was clear – I wanted the song to be recorded on the same day because face it, there are lots of higher priority wedding preparations to be done. Somehow, the rest of the band members have their expectations exceeded when we managed to record the song in one day. I am pleased with the result and we threw in our best recording track by track (drum first and then my guitar, Cynthia’s bass, Jason’s guitar, and the vocal track). Since the song will be used when displaying the childhood photos of the couple, I will wait till January next year to link the recording from where Lester is going to post the video to – YouTube – as we are keeping this as a surprise for now.
