Okay where do I start.. So "Smile" the animated film is really taking off. This weekend I was invited along with Megan Foley to Capitol records, to watch a scoring session of the original composition of "Smile". A 45 piece orchestra was on hand in studios A and B. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! The music was composed and conducted by Cody Westheimer. The two premiers (one in Hollywood, one in Davis) will be later this year. Megan and I will be adding the final touches to the final cut of the film soon, more details to follow. Lisa Stinson's new CD is almost complete. I've been working on the final mixes this past month. She is an amazing and talented songwriter and singer. I'm trying to talk her into letting me post one of her songs here at the site. Rich Varone's CD is coming along well also. We tracked nearly the last of the drums on Saturday. More details to follow soon... And finally Jimmy Bean.... I've gathered together some great kid talent in the area to help out with new CD. Expect to hear a lot more kid voices, kids playing there own instruments... It's going to be great. My Son Chad is working on some new stuff, and Emily down the street already has a killer rhythm part on guitar for her song! I can't wait for you all to hear it!... Stay tuned!... Jimmy
