For me it&#8217;s very exciting, it means I can open up the studio again if I want. I&#8217;ve done some soundtrack work this year, but not nearly as much as I&#8217;m accustomed to. It&#8217;s been a terrible disadvantage not having all my toys with me. So finally my toys and I are reunited. The former studio was called Road Records &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.roadrecords.com\">visit the Road Records website<\/a>. The studio had three different locations over 16 years and started with a keyboard and a little four track recorder.  I produced thousands of tracks at Road Records and hundreds of band demos , solo artist albums and soundtracks.<\/p>\n<p>The night before I left I had the honor of having dinner with three of my good friends from the California High Desert &#8211; Karen Etheridge, Fred Dearborn and Carlotta Diggs. I&#8217;ve worked for years with both Karen and Carlotta doing gigs and recording projects. Was really great to see them and get caught up on what&#8217;s happening down in the High Desert. Thanks for being true friends!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image256\" alt=\"DSC00954.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/DSC00954.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Night before I left, California High Desert.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image257\" alt=\"DSC00947.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/DSC00947.jpg\" \/> \\<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Tree, Victorville, CA.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image258\" alt=\"DSC00961.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/DSC00961.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A mean looking Uhaul, don&#8217;t mess with me.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image270\" alt=\"DSC01022.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/DSC01022.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I had the coolest Uhaul &#8211; technocolor rocks.
