They're both very fragmented. You'll start out with a master take, the whole band plays it, and then we start doing coverage of each instrument, and it's very similar to filmmaking in terms of the process, time involved and the repetition of performance.

I originally developed the Chicken Fries for my fans. They have been so popular we made Buffalo Bites to add to the excitement.
Fortunately any of the songs we've recorded can be extremely fulfilling to perform depending on the variety of circumstances that surround any given show.
A voice expressing emotion in a musical way moves on. It's like the finale of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - the world turns in on itself, as a universe unto itself, in the shape of one human being.

In the past 3-4 years I've developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I'm able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis.
