08/02: Andy has added piano and organ. Here's the first mix with those additions. It's so nice to hear someone who can actually play the piano play this song. I need to fix some parts on the harmony, and do some cleanup of EQ and effects, but otherwise, this one is pretty close to being finished.

03/27: This is perhaps the second song that I wrote on the piano. I originally did my best Bruce Springsteen impersonation when playing this, but I think its fallen away from Bruce after I brought it back to guitar. I've sent this one off the Andy for keyboard and vocal harmony tracks.

07/31: *Now with better drum sounds. I changed the kick and the snare drum sound and tweaked some EQ and mixing. I added a section, and threw in some electric guitar for fun, too.  The guitar solo desperately needs work.  It's a placeholder for the time being.  (But listen to that drum fill back into the chorus after the breakdown...it's almost like a machine is playing the drums!)

03/27: I wrote this in February 2006 and recorded the very first demo of it in March. This one is round two. The long intro will get chopped if I ever get a drummer...I'm thinking drums and bass intro, with acoustic guitar coming in right before the first verse.

03/29: The edited version is just a little tightened up. I cut the intro and a few of the refrains.

03/31: Whiff sent me his first take on drums. I takes him a little while to get into the groove and part of that was hearing the click track on his set-up, he said.  And probably because he's out of practice, also his words.  Anyway, I think this first drum track shows some promise.

07/24:  I think I'm getting the hang of this Fruity Loops thing.  Second round with drums just posted.  I'm leaving the other one up just for a fun "compare and contrast."  Enjoy.

07/20: First round with drums. Whiff will need to critique it, give me some assistance with the fills and then I'll need to re-record up from the drums, since I strayed from the click track in a couple of places. But overall, I'm happy with how this first try with drums turned out.

03/27: I've been kicking this song around for about 3 years now, trying to iron out the lyrics and the structure, and I've settled on this arrangement for now. This one would definitely benefit from bass, drums, keyboards.

07/20: I added a drum track. Thanks to Brian Pluta for the tips and samples on Fruity Loops, and to Whiff for some help with the beats. It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out so far.

04/05: Another freshly recorded old song.  We used to play this for like 8 or 9 minutes with GATF.  This is a stripped down poppy version that comes in around 3:50.  I tried out some reverb (subtle) and played with some compression and hard limiting.  Still *very much* a demo version of this song.  It needs drums, bass, and piano.

Chelle suggested a switch to the title, which I like very much. Hence the change.
