Suddenly, without noticing it, we are as busy as we've every been.
March 26 2008
on March 27 three different projects went forward with Cinjun Tate and Brodie Hutcheson beginning to track several tunes including [working titles] "Drunk" and "Epic" for the Cinjun Tate solo project. Garrison re-did some vocals on Stack's "Mighty Omega," Terry Thomas added drums to "Drunk." Then on March 28th 2008 Brodie and Cenjun began tracking "India" and that evening the the first jam toward developing a live version of Molding (Molding has always been a "studio" band, with various personnel groupings presenting live shows over the years--they always include brothers Eric Watkins and Bob Watkins and on this night Cinjun Tate played bass and David Adkins played drums.

March 7 2008
Look here, February's gone and the jornal has been quite quiet. Thundershack itself has been quieter than usual. Stack still goes strong. Molding gathers to promote "Buddha Tormented by Pol Pot.", Klyd Watkins, ya humble servant, sees that
the snow slipped up on my back yard tonight
The snow snuck up on my back yard tonight is a line from "Keith Peace"—Klyd Watkins working over a Keith White guitar track. Only the guitar track is working at this point. I am getting over a long case of the flu and getting ready to make it right.
Bob Watkins and Brodie Hutcherson working on the live Rufus Huff tracks tonight.

Klyd Watkins grills tenderloin. 
After eating the meat Klyd tracks some vocals on "Keith Peace"
and Bob Watkins edits then and Brodie Hutcheson mixes on the piece.
January 25 Stack played Music City Bar and Grill
to the best crowd they have had in Nashville since the first show. The band was tight and the crowd was ready to whoop and holler. Stack is beginning to build a Nashville following and this venue is a good place to see them live. The only problem--no one took a camera.
January 23 2008 Klyd Watkins tracking on "Keith Peace."
January 21 2008 Cinjun Tate
came by and he and Eric and Klyd worked on song structures--one of which fell into place enough that a click track was made and a basic layer of three acoustic guitars was tracked (Bob came in time to track guitars). "Bearded Magic" is the working title of this tune.

Brodie records Rufus Huff live at The Rutledge.
Jimmy Hall joined the band lending vocals and harmonica. We're moving the mutitracks into Crankenstein and beginning to mix.
January 16 2008 Snow on the ground tonight. I worked on Head Above Water, an accapella experiment of Garrisonian origin. Then Brodie was
good enuf
f to come and mix it. Last, I worked on putting a poem over a rich acoustic guitar mix by Keith White. Speaking of STACK check out their upcoming shows. The new tune "So Wrong" is still Stack's focus and Brodie and Bob or Brodie and Bob and Garrison have been tracking and editting and mixing almost every night.
January 8 2008 Stack practice. Garrison and Brodie began early, tracking vocals on "So Wrong." 
DECEMBER 28 07 was a flash back. THE WATKINS HARRIS BAND played at Windows on the Cumblerland
that night. Bob Watkins and Mark Harris led this band during the 80's, while in high school and for a few years later. The windows on the Cumblerland gig was a reunion. During the day when Michael Bracey (left to right), Marc Harris, Bob and Trent Golden came by to practice, memories memories and stories of back in the day went along with the music.
