Studio Tours today
Current mood: amused

I agreed to host a few tours of the stuido for my son's YWCA summer camp....about 16 kids per tour......the only thing was, the first two tours were 7 YEAR OLDS that could not have cared less about it......all they cared about was the bobble-head Stich character i've got sitting on the console...

They asked me if i had worked with anyone famous and i told them "hootie and the blowfish..... crickets....

so then i told em i recorded CLAY AIKEN and they all said "Ooooooo, my MOTHER likes him"...

This was also reported by The Raleigh News & Observer (not sure about the last sentence. Widely expected drop date is September 19.)

As it happens, Clay has been working on his new album, the followup to 2003's "Measure of a Man." Dick Hodgin, partner/producer at Raleigh's Osceola Music, reports that Aiken was recently recording some vocal tracks at Osceola -- "And we got a keeper vocal on Sunday," Hodgin says. There's been talk of a fall release, but I'd be surprised if it emerged before 2007.
