Day 1- 6/7/08


J- Arrived at The Grove today and straight into idyllic peace. The Grove is a collection of 100+ year-old houses on the Rappahannock River built by this guy James Wharton as a religious retreat. Over time, the houses were used as rentals and eventually sold, and that’s when Scott’s extended family started picking up the houses one by one. By the late seventies, they owned most of the houses at The Grove and have used it for their sanity. Now we’re using it to record our new album.

We’re staying in the main house, named Camp Meeting, and are using the Great Room as our studio. We have carted all the equipment we think we will need, and some gear we will never use. Arranging the equipment into some sort of sense is the goal for the next two days. Then, check levels, set a game plan and go!
