OK, that\u2019s not really the interesting part: the interesting part is that, according to my brother\u2019s friend, you can currently hire superstar session men like Keltner and Sklar for $500 per day to make your self-financed record. In other words, you can basically get Eric Clapton\u2019s or Jackson Browne\u2019s former backing band to be your backing band on your record for around $2000, total, if you\u2019re willing to do it in a day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds like a fun DIY version of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockcamp.com\/\">Rock And Roll Fantasy Camp<\/a> thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my brothers is a musician who runs a recording studio, and recently he told me that a friend of his recorded an album (is that still the right term?) at a well-known studio in Los Angeles.
