Recorded right in the heart of my five years of playing this gig, this record made up the bulk of the set we played around various L.A. clubs.

Working with L.A.-based singer-songwriter Janet Robin in the studio was always very business-like, very professional, and very satisfying. She knew exactly what she wanted and wasn't afraid to ask for it. I always kept the gear very simple for these quirky pop tunes, as bass was hardly the feature instrument and filled a role and frequency range more than anything else. Still, the parts themselves are interesting without getting in the way…or so I hope.
