a lifetime's like a song.

Don't have to understand it,

just to sing along."

Recording CD # 3:

Put Your Faith in Me

Drums and bass got laid down on good old fashioned 2-inch tape, just like grandma used to make.

Randy Burk, of Stout Recording in Oakland, operator of said tape machine and proud owner of a rotary telephone

Glenn likes recording.

Scratch vocals and guitar:

afterwards these tracks are sealed in lead barrels and buried deep below the Nevada desert.

Always tune before recording or you will never go far in this business!
