Now that Elizabeth's project is done I am able to put all of my focus on an album I have been working on for far too long of a time. Brett Mikkelson (Brett Tyler is apparently still in the running...) has been more than gracious through all of my transition time into the new studio and finishing up some other projects. We have made some serious headway in recent weeks. This particular week we were honored to have Joe Savage in to play pedal steel on most of Brett's album. Joe is simply one of the best this town has to offer. A regular player on A Prairie Home Companion and also sits in with several of the Twin Cities finest groups. Joe is the kind of player that can give you so many great parts to work with that it is literally difficult to sift through them. Each part is played with precision, great thought and with accuracy, all on one of the worlds most difficult instruments to play. Truly an honor to have him at the Library to add his beautiful skill to an album I will listen to over and over after it is finished.
