---Notes--- 
Actually is a matrix, The SBD was patched
to a Mackie Mixer and the two stage mics
were mixed with an ambient Shure mic placed
near the SBD. I took the balanced main XLR
feeds from that and barely got any signal.
The guy running the mix was mixing for a radio
station and kept forgetting and leaving ambient
mic up during the song creating an
echo during Ireland's and Gentle. I did what
I could with what I had and made it sound 
pleasing. 


LYRICS FOR NEW SONG
----------------------------

Family History
All rights Reserved  2001 
Tim O'Brien (Howdy Skies Music/Universal Publishing/ASCAP)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Family history, don't know too much
Family history, don't keep in touch
With my mother and father quite like I want to do
There's family history. I'd rather not go lookin' through

Family history, will repeat
Look through your history, you're sure to meet
Someone walkin' much the same pathway as you
It's family history, like it or not you're passing through

Family Bible, dates and names
Faces in pictures look much the same
You're runnin' in circles, until you wonder where it ends
Can't know where you're going until you see just where you've been

What's with my uncle, I want to know
We never see him when we go
To a family reunion, no one even says his name
Against the rules in our secret family history game

Family history, need to learn
Lest old troubles will return
Come back and haunt you, you'll hear them rattle that chain
You'd better break it, or it might drag you down again

Family history seems like fate
But you can change it, it's not too late
To ask a few questions, it's time to face up to the fear
It lies there waitin', and it might come back again this year
