Mixing in the UK

Spain was good, but it was way colder than expected!! The plan was to sit out on the balcony drinking Sangria whilst doing the new album. In the end it was the coldest winter they’ve had in years with even snow falling!! So that means I am a little behind schedule! This week I’m back…

In Spain!

Goodbye to 2004 and welcome to 2005!

I’m writing this on New Years Day, so “Happy New Year”! Now it’s time to look back on 2004 and see what’s in store for 2005… Well the big plan for 2004 was to launch DVDs of all the Genki English themes. But what a flop! I figured a “virtual” version of my lessons would…
