About Me

My Musical Resume

(Click on my pic below the player which takes you to ReverbNation and you can find out some tidbits about the songs and artists, click on the 'i' beside each song at ReverbNation for the info):


I am an eclectic recording engineer and software engineer whose musical passions are guitar and prog rock, post-rock (and almost every other genre). I have worked in 4 major studios and 3 smaller ones, plus a remote truck and my home. I've recorded all kinds of music, from rock to gospel to jingles, with the famous as well as the infamous. Glad you are here!
Right now you can listen to some songs I engineered, above, including some of our soon-to-be released album, Bullett Proof, or more songs and all our clients at one place at
Bullett Proof is a remastered compilation, and the rest are bits and pieces.
I am on Second Life now
as Etierre Bonde. Check it out, great, fun place to RP, relax, fly, hear lots of live music, dance, and meet tons of people in a beautiful 3- D environment that you can create or modify yourself. Go to Second Life . Once 'inworld', do a search on Lemon Lady Productions and you'll get all my info, including my store/stage/beach and our Group.
Our Clients:
The Bullett tracks are remastered, and the tracks are half price until the CD drops, also a free download on ReverbNation! And a good track it is, too.
Or Bullett at MySpace

Some of these songs were done in the mid to late 70s, early 80s, and are part of a compilation I am doing for a Boulder band, Bullett. Note that these songs are old and most come from cassettes or reel-to-reel tape. Bullett also found some really old tapes that are priceless but in very bad shape, plus a whole live performance from the mixing board straight to cassette. It has age issues. :) Some interesting Boulder musicians played on them, notably, Bob Harris (Zappa, Warren Zevon, Steve Vai, Axe, Axe again, I'm forgetting people), who meshed so well with Dave and came from Missouri with almost all of Bullett, via Florida, to Boulder. Bob joined Bullett for about a year, then Helix/Boulder got him.

After I left Boulder, Jim Mason (Peter, Paul & Mary, Poco, Chris Hillman, Firefall, Richie Furay), produced the last 3 Bullett songs, which do not appear here as only songs I engineered will. But they can be heard on the Bullett page.
I speak so much of Bullett as I did a lot of work for them, they were my very first session, I lived in the Bullett "Flagstaff House", and am working with Dave Small (singer/songwriter) and Bob Wolff (previous mgr) now.And Bullett was a large part of the original music Boulder scene. They lit up quite a few live venues with their original songs, and people actually listened without screaming "FREE BIRD!". Too bad they ran up against punk and disco, as was the fate of many bands of the day (nothing against punk or the subsequent music to come, but it hosed the guitar-based bands for awhile and blew Boulder apart). Not to mentiion Severe Boulder Burnout, as we like to call it.
All Bullett songs copyright SmallSongs and permission graciously granted for me to post them here. The Piano Experiment thing, was just this engineer's experiment one late night in Boulder, at Northstar Studios, with one of her housemates, a Julliard graduate; I own it. I think I actually sang that night. Yeow - that won't be showing up here... I decided to be nice. The other songs are things I did in Houston.
Column 3!
Just added: FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON.
I have moved my regular music column to the Blog here, for more exposure and control. These columns are about my experiences, as a female recording engineer, during the Colorado music boom in the '70s. I also have some other topics planned upon completion of the Colorado history. Moving pages and my stuff is tough so bear with me while I get them all organized. And I have the above Bullett album to finish. If ever. :)
Watch this space - not sure what the new column frequency will be yet. But I will keep you posted about each new column with announcements (whatever MySpace is doing at the time) and for the non-MySpacers, a mailing list. If you want to be on the mailing list, send me a message with your email. If you are a MySpacer, become my 'friend' so you'll get the announcements. Or, if the ReverbNation fan sign-up is here, use that.
I hope you want to sit down with a cup of coffee (or whatever!) and relax with the story of an interesting point in time, in an interesting place, full of interesting and talented people. And if you ever wondered what the inside of a recording studio feels like... I have stories... If I EVER get to them...
