(there's a technical term you can only come by after playing music for 35 years: "guitar stuff") what i remember about making the record is this: it was the first DA record that Greg, and Terry and i sat around in a room and made stuff up (musically) together. the music (Terry always comes up with the vocal melody and writes the lyrics) was mostly created and captured initially on a cassette player in the living room of Greg's apartment in pasadena, ca. it was the second record we recorded on Doug Doyle's recently purchased 24 track machine at 3-D studios (the other half of his orange county duplex.) we recorded vox humana on an 8 track at 3-D, then he bought the 24 track and we did fearful symmetry on it. i was 27 years old at the time, and it was the first record that, evidently, i had any idea at all about how to go about playing the bass (i have no clue whatsoever as to what i was thinking, or thought i was doing on the previous 3 records--if you doubt, listen carefully to vox--i suck--[and i'd been playing bass for 15 years by then!]). i was married 2 years to Maria, living in a 600 square foot apartment in south pasadena, and, because we were fairly poor at the time, i brought a lot of chicken salad sandwiches to the studio for lunch (why the hell was it specifically chicken salad??) 10-11-2006 10:17 joey Platyhelminth Registration Date: 01-08-2003 Posts: 7,231 Location: the biggest fans are often the biggest critics ... sometimes taken as complaining ... get used to it. :P - mountain fan RE: Dfbb        c.. glad i found this on sale... hi tim! __________________ facebook 10-11-2006 12:05 joey Platyhelminth Registration Date: 01-08-2003 Posts: 7,231 Location: the biggest fans are often the biggest critics ... sometimes taken as complaining ... get used to it. :P - mountain fan RE: Dfbb        quote: Originally posted by joey c.. glad i found this on sale... __________________ facebook 10-24-2006 16:18 jiminy Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 11-16-2002 Posts: 9,494 HEY CHAN MAN...... great tale! __________________ jiMinY theres nothing to EVER put here that will please everyone-let alone anyone. 10-11-2006 11:14 tchandler Daniel Amos Registration Date: 03-22-2002 Posts: 1,061 Thread Starter hey, jiminy! 10-11-2006 11:15 Ron E Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 5,612 Location: Central Ontario Canada and now we know the rest of the story... though I think you're still holding back... __________________ The opinion expressed is that of the participant and does not necessarily reflect that of Mr Dan Amos.

Okay, really, there has to be some serious bathroom humour that took place or a story about someone being absolutely incompetent or suggesting something that everyone else had to roll their eyes at behind their back during the recording, come on, offer dirt on someone... okay now I'm stirring up trouble among brothers, I think I'm working for Shatan.
