I've been threatening to put out a CD for, oh, about 15 years or so. I'm almost done. I've got 12 tracks recorded, with one more to come. Final mixes are still forthcoming on 4-5 of them, and I want to add a few tweaks here and there. I'm thinking one more studio session, and I'm done.
Incidentally, I did all this at Blackwater Recording, which overlooks Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia -- about 50 minutes from my house. Harold is the greatest.
So now I have to name the CD, and come up with artwork. I've thought about calling it "Mike Franke's Greatest Hits." Friends of mine liked "The Essential Mike Franke." I kinda like the latter, partially because it sets me up for my second CD ("The Non-Essential..."). My wife thinks either of these are obnoxious (which they are), and wants to call it "three-quarter time". I don't like that because there's only one song on the CD in 3/4.
Your comments appreciated. Many of the recordings on this site are on the CD . What do you think?
Hmmm.... Howsabout "It's About Time" (though that's an idea for another song...)?
