GJ and Jacob raising the bar for sustained focus and minutia management.
“Say man…”
“I toint that kno’ unti’ it got righ’…”
“Darkness warshed over the Charger, darker than a black steer’s toches on a moonless prairie night…”

Willie Wide Mouth Nelson - 20110129, Shaun
Willie’s done alright for himself…
A whole life on a wall.
The view from Willie’s private office.
The artist as a young man.
The Sony C37 that loves my voice.
Poblano peppers filled with shredded beef and cheese. Yeah!
Daisy and I listening to Listen Sister.

Chargin' - Shaun, 20110127

Pedernales. Pronounced, “Purdnalez”
Our chauf-fur.
The red headed stranger over the years, on a red wall.
That’s more like it! Until today the only real heat...

Pedernales - Shaun, 2011.01.21
Here are some photos from day 1.
Jacob saying, “try not to hit your snare mic, Nat King Cole sang into it…” No pressure…
One of the guitar rigs.
GJ’s weapons of bass destruction.
Dialing it in.
