This recording was a big deal to me, because in the evolution of my recordings, it was the first one that kind of sounded like a full band (on my own) with the addition of the fake bass guitar part using the acoustic guitar, and the first time I ever dubbed so many tracks for a song. The reel-to-reel tape box has the note, "my first 15 track recording!" Recording started 12/30/90 and ended New Year's Day, 1991.
The only equipment I had for creating was my Teac A2340 4-track reel-to-reel deck, a Honer 6 string acoustic guitar with an "F" hole pickup, a Digitech sound processor, a few Shure microphones and my drums.
Lyrics
"Don't Be Long"
By: Craig Brohan (1990)
(Verse)
One thing I've missed... the lack of your kiss say don't be long...daddy don't be long from me...And though I can't dry... those tears from your eyes I won't be long...son I won't be long
(Pre-Chorus)
I can never take good-byes...feeling all your tears I cry...losing you to work it seems...there's no time to live our dreams
(Chorus)
Don't be long...I can never take good-byes...holding back the tears I'll try...I won't be long
(Pre-Chorus)
Take the calendar young man...hold it as you held my hand...count the days please understand...daddy's done the best he can
(Chorus)
Don't be long...I'll be coming home to you...count the days with me they're few...I won't be long
(Verse)
One thing I've missed (one thing I've missed) the lack of your kiss (lack of your kiss) say don't be long...daddy don't be long
(Pre-Chorus)
I can never take good-byes...feeling all your tears I die...losing you to work it seems...there's no time to live our dreams
(Chorus)
Don't be long... I'll be coming home to you...count the days with me they're few...I won't be long...Don't be long
