Chelsea Williams - Recording "Hear The Thunder" with Apogee Quartet and iPad

Hey Guys! Ok, so I'm finally putting some music out there and I thought I'd start out with a cover. This might be tmi, but last year I was in Paris with my family at a hotel, and while we were checking in I went to have a pee... as I was relieving myself this friggin song comes on and I loved it so much that I pulled my phone out to record it in my voice memos so I could find it later. That song, as you probably figured out, was "Budapest", by the awesome George Ezra. From that fateful pee I knew I had to cover this song... haha

So here it is, the video only looks and feels the way it does because of Alex Pines. Check out her website too when you have the chance...

Apogee Quartet is everything you need to make professional, studio quality recordings at home on your Mac... as Vonda Shepard shows us in this video. The Boesendorfer piano was mic'ed with an AKG C24 stereo microphone going into the pristine mic pre amp and conversion of the Quartet. Vonda's vocals were recorded with a Neumann M49, also using the incredible Quartet mic pre amp and A to D converter

I am proud to have as guest the music legend himself, Paul Shaffer. 

Anyone who watches modern television knows that Paul Shaffer spent a great deal of his years as music director for SNL and then later with David Letterman on the WNBC-TV and WCBS-TV Networks. 

But very few know that in his early years, he was the original music director for the Toronto company of Godspell. He is indeed Canadian.

Listen to this podcast interview as host Larry Russell talks to Paul Shaffer about his experience as MD, working with early stars-to-be, Gilda Ratner, Eugene Levy, and Martin Short in the early 1970s musical: Godspell
