New Drawing by Crehore

Balancing Act (Blues Gal)- Drawing copyright 2007 Amy Crehore
I think this must be how I feel. An awkward, comical balancing act. Tomorrow I will be working on a new website for my art...it may take a few days. Hopefully, it will be an improvement over the one I have now. There is an imaginary mandolin in the new drawing. Maybe I need 8 tuners...to tune up 8 different things.

Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project

"From the first recordings made on tinfoil in 1877 to the last produced on celluloid in 1929, cylinders spanned a half-century of technological development in sound recording. As documents of American cultural history and musical style, cylinders serve as an audible witness to the sounds and songs through which typical audiences first encountered the recorded human voice." Read about the beginnings of recorded sound and listen to it as well:

Dubway Recording Studio, NYC

Dubway Owner/engineer Al Houghton, Marc Farre, Dubway Co-Owner/engineer Mike Crehore
It looks like Dubway recording studio in NYC has a new website and it's really nice. I was just checking out the "news" page. There are mentions of Patty Smith, Nora Jones, Janet Reno, Kate Hudson, Whoopi Goldberg to name a few. Dubway Studio records and tweaks soundtracks for films, television, and animation. They also do a fine job recording singer-songwriters. Nickolodeon's Backyardigans, a children's animated feature, depends on Dubway for it's sound. He ain't heavy, he's my brother! Mike Crehore is co-owner of Dubway and he is also a great guitarist. Al Houghton is his partner in crime.
Have a look at their cool website:
