Hi everyone! 🙂 I want to give you my deepest heartfelt thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to participate and lend your incredible talent and passion to my/our project, Fresh Boy. We are going to make a great record! I hope that I have sent you enough material to help you to prepare for Wednesday's session ie lyric/chord sheets, sound files. I can be reached at 646-904-3492 24/7 if you have any questions regarding the song. 

The studio is booked for 2:00-6:00 pm. We are devoting the first hour to Mick’s drum tracks. In the meantime, we can go over vocal parts in another room. I'll have lyric sheets printed for you. 

9 Lives Studios does not have a big sign or bright lights and can be a bit tricky to find.. Nicola, the studio’s owner will have to coordinate the parking and we certainly don’t want to waste precious recording time dealing with that.

I would like to make every minute count, so I suggest that we meet at 1:30 at the White Castle at 2995 KENNEDY BLVD. Jersey City, NJ 07306 across the street from the Dollar Tree in front of the large Tiger Mural – you can't miss it. It is only a few blocks to the studio from there.

I am so psyched and honored that you all granted my request to join me and help to make this a great record. At worst, it might make for a good foot powder commercial!

Thanks again!
