    We made a short but sweet attempt at tracking a simple pianointro for one of the new songs, but we ultimately decided that thesong didn't benefit much from the part, so we dropped it.

    Steve and myself listening to playback in the control room ofstudio B.Steve was incredibly gracious, generous, and patient withus, not to mention astoundingly skilled at what he does for a living.It was a pleasure to be in the company of someone so adept at theircraft.
