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 eight 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.

This is, by no means, karaoke!! In an effort to keep the show a "true live performance", he's personally recorded every note you hear!
