Do you want vocals with that?

Last night found the guys laying down vocal tracks. The songs we worked on were "Take Me Back" one that Duane sings.
Comments from Duane " On March 13, 2003 I wrote this one while driving in my car. I had just listen to Can’t You See and the tune stayed with me. I started with Take me Back and the rest came from there.

Then Dom took his turn at vocals, kicking out the rocker "Get on with your Life". Comments from Duane on how he came up with this song:
June 22, 2003 After hooking back up with Rick and Dom we have been writing our own songs. At a practice on June 18th 2003 we were talking after practice and the phrase “Get on with your life and leave my life alone” came up regarding a friends ex-wife. The friend shared with us on occasion how needy and controlling this ex could be in regards to their daughter. I joked and mentioned that we should write a song with this phrase. On Saturday evening the 21st of June I sat down and these words appeared in about 10 minutes.

Then Rick took his turn on vocal with Dom and Duane adding backup to "Summer Love". With comments on how this song came about here's Rick: Back in the early eighties when Duane and I were in college one evening we wrote the lyrics and music to this one. Dan E. was the first to do vocals on this one.
Duane continues: On April 2nd 2003 we brought it back into the mix and I remember Rick saying it was boring and wanted to change it. We worked on the vocals and gave it a true 50's style.
What an evening!!!!
We may be a couple weeks before we get back in the studio because in Michigan the state holiday of deer season begins next week and will find these three in the woods - with an instrument of a different sort. Stay Tuned!
