Cd release delayed by a volcano?

No, for real, here's the photo for proof.

That really cool retro-sounding CD I recorded with Otto Lenz and Blue Lisa, John Clark and Joel Lockman was in the final stages of being mixed in Anchorage. The FINAL stages,minor tweaks only that need to get finished or it'll bug me forever. It's going to take a little longer than we'd thought because there's a volcano erupting close by.

Ok, sure you say. But really, it's Mt. Augustine about 200 miles up-wind from Anchorage and while the lava flow will go straight into the water it's the air-borne volcanic glass that'll get you. It eats up motors, causes severe respiratory problems and is probably the worst possible thing for a recording studio. So, we either need to run with things the way they are, or we need to wait to get mixes done right. I think I'd rather wait.
