Wanted to recorded a Double CD of Songs to show that we could still hold our own, we rehearsed for three weeks
Then booked the studio to record 36 songs in two days
we were told it was not possible to do 36 songs in two days
We said we would like to give it a try...
All songs were one take and it took exactly two 12 hour days - So I guess we proved that we still have what it takes
