Here’s the video in case you need some moving pictures to get the message…

I recorded my parts for this record in my kitchen in Idaho with a Digitech RP and an Audix Fireball mic, as described in this post. I like this record plenty, and I’m delighted to see it getting wider distribution.

Rock on everybody…
