The chronicle of relocating my studio to Raleigh, NC.

[James Lugo]

Well guys we loaded up the truck today with everything and then some. After nearly 25 years in Los Angeles it is time to say goodbye. I will miss many aspects of LA and miss many friends but it was time for a change. With kids now this isn't the location, lifestyle or working pace for us anymore. I found an awesome 3000 sq ft house with a 1200 sq ft brick basement for the studio on a half acre in Raleigh. My wife and I are very excited about a new life. I will still be doing the same basic thing, producing, teaching voice, writing and mixing online but with the addition of singing and playing guitar in a band again. That has been a huge hole in my life for the past 10 years.

I leave Friday morning for the long cross country drive with my wife, dog and SSL. Marko is flying out to Raleigh on November 1st and we will get this party started.

Catch you'all on the other coast.

Jerry, I just moved to the Nashville area myself, actually about an hour north of there. If you ever relocate out this way, I definitely have to stop by your shop!

James, good luck on the move! Like I was saying, just enjoyed a move from Texas in a 26 foot Penske...mojo sent!

If you are looking into TN then you should really consider the Nashville area. Someone with your skills should do alright there once you got into the scene.

good luck James, as always, keep your camcorder in hand and record that cool ass cross country trip.....there's always A BUNCH of great stuff to see.

Make it a Documentary of sorts

I'm guessing you mean Soddy Daisey. It's a bit out of the way. You want to be closer to nashville, I think.
