Mike Beck CD Recording Sessions

Percussion day!

Meg Thomas, from the Steely Dan tribute band Katy Lied, brought an amazing collection of percussion instruments and set up to record in the Sabin foyer. Her work can be heard throughout the Mike Beck CD.

Jake Niemiec made his professional recording debut on the Mike Beck CD, contributing tambourine and djembe drum to the recording of A Little Sunshine (for Randee).

This was also the day that Mike and Andy lost a critical hard drive during the middle of performing a backup... We were scared! Fortunately, the drive was able to be restored just a couple days later (Thanks Rich Maisel!).


Thanks to Meg Thomas for her contributions to the Mike Beck CD.
