(Also had the opportunity to catch up with Catrina Maria, which is always a pleasure.) I'm pointing to a line on the sticker that says, "For Your Approval." As I mentioned elsewhere, that's a much better title than

Reager sent
- [What's Going Ahn?](https://www.thesubteens.com/whats-going-ahn/) - We're mixing now, which is the fine-tuning part of recording an album. How loud should the drums be, where in the mix should background vocals be panned, how many songs should include the count off? We don't know either!

Yesterday, I invaded chez Reager for about 12 hours and finished my remaining bass lines, which was a balance of six for those keeping score at home. It doesn’t sound like hard work,
- [This Guy Right Here](https://www.thesubteens.com/this-guy-right-here/) - Yesterday was guitars, guitars, and guitars, recorded at Frogg (sic) Mountain Studio. Once we ironed out a few technical kinks and found the tone, Kram got it done like a champion.
