Hi Michael ~
Thanks for your note - yes, exactly correct you are, live me tracks then Dan added keys. I'll listen to ya when able + get back to the forums.
We got lucky that day, guitar/vox track, then bam bam bam the other vocal tracks all in a row. I was w/ 3 (experienced) guitarists at that session, expecting to play drums! Then (ulp) it was said, naw you know the song best, play guitar...
I really love this track, Donna! Seems like it was a live take with some post production? In any case, the vocal is powerful! You can sing! And haven't we all had so many visions? Yes--so, a powerful song, beautifully performed!
You should come by the forums more often--saw your comment & followed it to here...as will others.
Cheers from frozen Maine!

Hmm - I guess this means the comments others have left have been deleted? dontunderstand
*FYI
I've replaced the original vox/acoustic only of "Out To Storm" w/ the added strings/piano version.
