Recording sessions

Picture
It wasn't their main preoccupation, but the Fullertons once, in 2016, went to the White Rock Grange in Gorham, Maine, donned headphones, put on the red light, and recorded three of their favorite Neon Leon tunes: 


1. Paradiseland
Adam put Eve above all others. All others. That's a very good boy! 
See the lyrics and more notes at 
Tunnel Vision.

2. When the Wagon Rolls 'Round
You can't take it with you. Will the wagon take you with it? Ask not for whom the wagon rolls.
