MIXTUREcast #9: Holly Tree Hopeful

Once again the guys darken the doors of ShadowSound Studio to discuss another track from Joey Stuckey's new jazz album MIXTURE. Today's track is one of the first the guys wrote together - HOLLY TREE HOPEFUL, which has an interesting story behind it.

It features the inimitable Dr. Marcus Reddick once again on drums - YOU'RE WELCOME MARCUS! - along with the usual random selection of topics, including but not limited to:

• The Beatles
• Yellow Submarines
• Tesla Action Figures
• Dogs and Didgeridoos
• State Bank & Trust
• One legged Models
• A Nintendo DSi [can YOU find it?]

.....along with some very cool hats, including an GENUINE Indiana Jones model. It's genuine because that's what it says in the label!

Once again Tom gets nailed - this time because he forgot he'd recorded the piano part.

Dr. David Klee, an excellent flautist, is mentioned in one of the "behind the song" stories. As promised in the video, here is the link to David's album that Tom played on:

MIXTUREcast #7: Give 5

Episode #7 of MIXTUREcast is now ready for viewing and features the guys talking about Give 5, which they've mentioned in several previous episodes.

...but this time, a few secrets are hinted at, and even mention is made of an upcoming CONTEST!

Of course, Tom's handwriting gets a good dose of "reality", some off-the-wall comments are made, and Joey reveals that the light at the end of the tunnel would do him no good.

The title is, of course,  an oblique nod-of-the-head to Paul Desmond's famous tune "Take 5".

Yes, it was deliberate!

Mention is also made of the drum Miguel used on the track  - a Rebolo and a Casa Vallenata. You can see pictures on Tom's blog at

MIXTUREcast #6: Windows Down

Episode 6 of MIXTUREcast brings our intrepid musicians to the hard parts of the album...they just THOUGHT the earlier tunes were tricky to mix!

Watch and marvel as they give you the behind the scenes story of Windows Down - and experience the wonder of the guys discussing

• poltergeists, 
• the Rippingtons, 
• Hammocks, 
• cool T-shirts,
• mention Dr. Marcus Reddick of Mercer University [you're welcome, by the way], 
• wonder why Dr. Stanley Roberts doesn't know the difference between a circle and oval, 
• and even engage in THE GREAT PEANUT BUTTER DEBATE.

...and - oh, yeah - the music is pretty cool as well!
