While rehearsing with "The Balls," I believe it was guitarist Carl McNeave who suggested that we form a three-piece unit to, "perform songs that are the type of music that we like to listen to." So we started rehearsing music like the hopelessly complicated Rush, Eric Johnson, and local Baltimore favorites Crack The Sky.
These tunes were quite fun to play, but these song samples are stong evidence of why I've wanted a multi-track recorder for most of my adult life. There's always those mistakes here & there that's I'd love to "clean up."
