8:38 PM – David Loftus 8:38 PM – “Well, my lifetime karaoke total is up to 375, Kiran, and the music I listened to the most as a high schooler is mostly too complex and rich and long for karaoke (e.g., Yes, ELP, Gentle Giant), so I have to reach ‘way back into the past to find new material to do.”

8:40 PM – David Loftus 8:40 PM – “I have a couple great songs that people requested ready to go, but the people who requested them haven’t showed up in a while!”

8:42 PM – Greg Alexander 8:42 PM – “Toby, how did the background music sound on mine? Too tinny?”

8:43 PM – Toby Loftus 8:43 PM – “Greg: A little, did you completely remove the vocal Track? Also, it was a touch loud for your voice.” I usually leave a little of the vocal track in. That helps maintain the music quality.

8:45 PM – Greg Alexander 8:45 PM – “I wasn’t sure how close to put the speaker to the mic. I tried to strip pretty much all the vocals, but it also took some of the instrumental.”

8:46 PM – Toby Loftus 8:46 PM – “Yeah, I find that happens (music track degraded). ” Which is why I leave a little vocal line in.

8:50 PM – Toby Loftus 8:50 PM – She runs back down the hallway To the bedroom door She reaches for the pistol Kept in the dresser drawer Tells the lady in the mirror He won’t do this again Cause tonight will be the last time She’ll wonder where he’s been source: https://www.lyricsondemand.com/g/garthbrookslyrics/thethunderrollswrdverselyrics.html
