It’s good to be Me (The day I met the Swell Season)

Sometimes out of the blue you get a phone call that truly can change your week. Not so long ago I received a phone call from a friend of a client asking if I’d be interested in working on a project with him. He was looking to film a documentary about a British Singer-Songwriter guitarist named Jim Martyn who recently passed. A local studio owner/producer is working on a tribute album and names like The Swell Season, Beck, David Gray, Phil Collins, and Snow Patrol are involved. At any rate the answer was yes and about a week ago I went out to the recording studio and got to sit in on The Swell Season recording. Needless to say I’m glad I answered the phone that day, before he went onto the next person on his list. Here are a couple of screen grabs from the video I shot. Once the project is finished, I’ll post some footage, or a link to the footage, but for now, enjoy the pics above and check out this write up in the Chicago Tribune.
