“Do Me Tonight” was recorded in my studio and living room when I was residing in San Carlos in the SF Bay Area. I had a baby grand piano upstairs in the living room and the recording studio was down a steep flight of stairs in the basement. I wrote this song on that baby grand, the same piano I learned to play on as a child.

Because it would have been very difficult to move the baby grand downstairs into the studio, I ran some high-quality Belden cable from the studio up to the living room. I positioned microphones to get the best piano sound possible and recorded the lead vocal at the same time using a Neumann U87 and an Avalon VT-737 channel strip. The rest of the musicians (guitar, drums, bass) played in the studio. I had a headphone line run downstairs so we could communicate and count off the song. By some divine miracle (and some great musicians) this unique recording process worked to perfection. We overdubbed some additional guitar parts and backing vocals to complete the recording.
