Sounds

Someday I'll update this page with more, but in the meantime I present "New Tomorrow", the only thing I've ever recorded in a real studio. It's an original song written and sung by Gerry Gacek and features Ron Reinbach (Bass), Randy Sharpe (Drums), and myself on guitar. This was recorded live in a single take with backing vocals and (cheesy) keyboards added later in production.
