When we began preparing for CD number 2, (possible title: Painful number two), we got together and discussed what worked and what didn’t work in the recording of the first one.

That sounds a little weird. Oh well. This is democracy in action, people. (more…)

Chapter Twelve

I am reborn at sea. You know, for three people that play in a band we sure do work hard from time to time. Now that we have finished our Kickstarter campaign we have a moral obligation (and a quasi- legal one) to make a second CD. So we have spent days and days rehearsing, […]
