00:24called Because. This album's called, by so it goes, it's called Halfway to

00:29Somewhere and it was you know pretty much a premonition I think in some ways

00:37because we started to record the CD just before Covid, then obviously everything

00:43closed down. We couldn't get to see each other and then remember the old

00:49terminology of latency, we couldn't rehearse properly over the internet so

00:55we continued to share songs and and so forth and we managed to get back this

01:00last few months and start putting all the singles and the songs back together

01:05again. So what is it, it's, who's doing the vocals then? We both do vocals

01:10and Kerry mainly plays keyboards on this and I play guitars and we've got five

01:17songs written by each of us to make it a, you know, we sort of bring songs to

01:23the table and we see what's going to work for us and then we work with

01:29each other's sound to get the so it goes sound. And if people want to

01:34find out a bit more or order a CD, if they just Google? So it goes dot dot dot
