   Notes: This song is an example of our "long distance" work. Jim McDonald sent me a tape of the songs he wanted to do, and I produced his tracks here in Florida. I then recorded the parts on to a twenty four-track ProTools session, which was then sent to California. He recorded his vocals out there, and produced the final mixes. Jim also produces albums for other artists, and I have arranged and produced the tracks for most of them since 1990. We've worked on well over 200 songs together over the years, and we've only met once!
