after recording basics with a group, i realized that i had not reset the locate on the machine, and had to find a way - quickly - to let the band know that one of the best takes of the day was gone.

the guys were amazing. that is, they didn't have me flogged. after many, many hours of free time, they were able to re-create the track. we knew the original was better, but we also knew no one would know that.

when overdubs started the following week, i put up the reel(yes, i still had the gig amazingly), only to find that i had NOT recorded over the original track. i can't describe the complexity of the expressions on their faces.
