A NEW WORLD: basically started out with the song Armageddon Blues. Doug brought in the acoustic version, we discussed it, he asked that I come up with something heavier for the middle section. I came up with a basic drum pattern on the drum machine, created the middle part and pieced the 3 sections together. We then brought in Thom and Robert, ran through Armageddon Blues live, threw around some ideas for about 8 hours, and video taped it. A few little scheduling problems later ... I suggested that we ask Steve to play the drums, and Bill, at the very least ... to sing the middle section. They both came in performed their sections beautifully, and Doug brought in a few more song ideas ( then, decided to make it a concept/theme cd.) Jeff came into the project when it was almost finished. He came up with some great ideas, did some great bass work, & vocals. The results are what you hear.
