The First Recording of Reckless Abandon

"It was a good start." That was the reaction for Ryan, Jef, and Clifton after doing the first recording session. "It was not as fast as lightening. We did not get tons of stuff done. But we did get some done, got to learn some about recording, and got a good idea of what will work best for us" said Ryan. "It was fun to me" said Clifton. "I really enjoyed playing Jef's guitar. It rocked. I love guitars."

But a scare came when Clifton realized that his mic cables had mysteriously gone missing. "Oh, no," said Clifton in a concerned voice. But there was no reason to fear. The technological skills of Clifton were here. He was able to get just enough mics and cables to make it work at least well enough. "It's not perfect- it may sound somewhat like it comes from the fifties." But Ryan said, "That might add something to it."

The group recorded their song "Forever And A Day." We were between "Do You Remember" and "Forever And A Day," but we figured since most people know "Do You Remember," that "Forever And A Day" would be best to do first" said Jef. "Forever And A Day" is a love song. Jef has a lady friend who he was getting to know well. She wanted him to write a "cheesy love song." About that time, Jef wanted to write a song with the same title as their band name- which at that time was "Forever And A Day." Jef combined the two ideas, making a love song called "Forever And A Day." "Y'all impress me. Y'all write songs about girls, where I just write songs about other guys and everything!" said Clifton. All of its reviews have been great thus far.

The band laid down the basic track for "Forever And A Day" but did not put in the full version of violin, bass, and piano. "The violin goes great on this song" said Ryan. The band hopes to get semi-member Timothy Winstead in to dub over a beautiful violin harmony. "It would add a lot" says Ryan.

The band is looking foward for a full demo CD, and is greatly appreciative of the support.
