Words and Music

Back in July 2005 we began recording, learning the Tascam 2488, mic placement, levels etc. The first song that was recorded is one Duane "the wordman" wrote about a friend of his from New York. He had gone through a nasty divorce and was having a hard time. The song "Why Do People Change" (a middle of the road rocker) deals with just that. Here is the words to the first verse and chorus:

His wife left him after twenty years of marriage
She asked him to leave without sayin a word
He walked out the door, his kids were a cryin
He never saw it cumin it broke his heart

Why do people change and not for the better
Why do people do the things they do
Why do people change and not for the better
I ask you why do people do the things they do

Duane takes the vocals on this one with strong background vocals from Dom and Rick. Currently the song is in the mix down stage. Hopefully we will have an mp3 on-line soon for all to enjoy.
Fast foward to today..... since recording "Why Do People Change" the guys have laid the music tracks to four other songs: Legend (in your own mind) a west coast grung type of song, Take Me Back a southern rock bluesy style, Get on with your life a straight foward rocker and Summer Love a fifties style rock song complete with 'do ops'. As of last night all the track are down except the vocals. Planning on doing those next week. The doctor has left the building... Stay Tuned.
