In
July, 2000...
...Don Adamczyk started recording the songs you will hear on this website
today.
Melodie Somers joined the project in 2005. Employing
state-of-the-art, digital recording equipment, and a mixture of vintage
musical instruments and modern computer technology, Don has spent
nineteen years meticulously, digitally recording each song.
Once the finished
version of each song is complete, he revisits it and removes the lead
vocal and guitar tracks. Those parts, that are removed, are performed "live" along with the pre-recorded background parts
at Somers & Steel's live shows.
This is, by no
means, karaoke!! In an effort to keep the show a "true live
performance", Don's personally recorded
every note you hear!
