Janice will take a lyric and chord structure (either her’s or something she was handed) and then work out the melody and harmonies in her head. I never have a clue what’s gonna happen until record time. Then it’s one take and over. I ask how can you always do it in one take and she says I’ve practiced it smile But with doing that with earbuds I’ve rarely heard zip until mic time. When she works out progressions on the old Martin box she’s says she just tries different chords until something sounds ‘right’ and that spawns a melody.

Beats me — I’m just along for the ride. Except for the rare times I dust off the upright.
