A WEEKEND IN THE RECORDING STUDIO

TERRELL NEDROW - singer/songwriter

southern rock/ with a "melloncamp" edge

Oklahoma has always produced tons of great musicians!

Friday night, our friends, Greg and Susan Nedrow, and their son, Terrell Nedrow, arrived, and the next day, while Rodney, Greg, and Susan took about a 7 hour bike ride through northeastern Oklahoma and the Lake Tenkiller area, me and Terrell worked in the recording studio laying down tracks and shooting videos and a periodically working on a photo shoot. A great deal was accomplished and much was learning by everybody in the process, but watch for a link to Terrell Nedrow, the musician, that will be coming soon.

Personally, I thought if we got 2 decent recordings to work with that it would be a productive studio weekend, but Terrell was relentless and worked 14 hours in the studio on Saturday alone, and layed down the tracks for 8 mp3s, and did the photo shoots during breaks. Rodney spent many hours with him working on mixing and recording Saturday night and Sunday, and I shot 4 different videos of him performing different songs.

Neither Terrell nor I are really happy with the videos yet, but for different reasons. I think I could shoot the videos better and he thinks he could sing the songs better, so we will keep on keepin' on until we get it where we are both happy with them. Neither of us really want to "settle" on anything but his best. And his best is really, really good as both a singer and as a guitarist.

We are never too old to learn new things, but sometimes we can be too young to appreciate certain things, so it was great to see how dedicated Terrell is to his music and that he is not just goofing around. His natural talent will pull him through as he learns more and more about the "music business" as he has always just been "all about the music." I also enjoyed having the company of really old friends - not saying THEY are old - well, we are all the same age, so I guess we are old. Depends on your perspective. But Greg and Susan are so easy to be around that the visits are entirely stress free and relaxing. (Well, except for the Terrell working me like a dog part....lol) I did manage to slip out of the studio about midnight when he and Rodney were jamming together on a few songs and go to bed. I believe they worked about 2 more hours in the studio before they shut it down for the night.

Rodney had a great time out on the road trip, spending time with Greg, his friend of 39 years, and with Susan, and I managed to get quite a few cool pictures that I hope to add to the website soon. Watch for more postings in the future about Terrell.
