- “Beyond the Sun (W.T.)”
- Made MIDI demo of my treatment of Bob’s steel drum riff. He wrote it on a drum thingy that is metal. Not really a steel drum but I don’t know its proper name.
- I started up a Facebook chat session with the four Elephants (me, Greg, John, and Bob) I shared the groove idea.
- Greg came back with some lyrics.
