It's Tab, you know how it's going to be like. Plus we get a Christmas song! Well, as close as you're going to get. Jesse Dayton joins on the last two songs with I Hear Thunder a great closer.

Recorded from the front of the balcony, mics clamped to the railing. KM184s were X/Y with the CM4s split out about 1 foot to either side, the CA-14s were Healy just below the KM184s. Sound came out ok, tried my hand at EQing but but ended up leaving it alone as it's not my forte. Just a big mess of gumbo.

Enjoy,
MrFender
