The full band was in the basement for practice this morning. The focus today was "Call Me", another gem by Mike Casey. Mike added a minor change to the song and the rest of the band kicked in with some minor tweaking, including a short drum break and a touch of Rickenbacker 12-string in a couple of transition spots. We recorded a rough demo of the song on ADAT, adding a tracking vocal later. The core of the song is there, although we are still giving some thought to how best to end the song. It looks like we will end the song with back-and-forth guitar solos that eventually fade out.Next week we will refine "Call Me" and hopefully get a good version recorded on ADAT, which we will then take to Alan's studio for final tweaking.
By the way, a 45 by one of Bob McCarthy's former Columbus bands, the Myrchents ("Darkest Hour/I Gotta Know If You're Leaving" on the Ironside label, a sub-label of Mus-I-Col) sold last week on EBay for $100. As the story goes, only 200 copies were pressed.
