Productive weekend...

Had a very positive night at the poker table, notwithstanding the fact that I was dealt pocket kings three times in the first hour of play - and lost two of those hands.  Gotta love variance... particularly when it eventually swings back in your favor.

Recorded a few additional backing vocal/vocoder tracks for Other Places and Million Years.  In particular, I think the last part of the bridge on Million Years would be perfect for a female backing vocalist, primarily because of the song's lyric at that point.

Also revised the theramin keyboard part on Grey Wolf so that it trails off at the end, along the lines of the effect at the close of ELO's "Wishing" from the Discovery album.  That song and album triggers a nice childhood memory of mine, as it was the album I was listening to - as an early teenager - on the way to a brief winter family vacation somewhere that I can no longer specifically recall.  But I remember the place had a small indoor ice rink in the recreation center, and I played a bit of one on one hockey with another kid who was vacationing there.  And while that was fun, it was meeting his sister that proved to be a sweet/innocent adolescent experience I've never forgotten...
