SESSION 1: With the help of the "keepers of the cave" (as the Gilmans refer to themselves) and MorningStar Studios, we hauled our instruments, microphones and stands, and various other equipment down into the cave.

In our first session, Rob Fedorczyk, expert on the resonator guitar, joined Cliff and Emily in some blues.

We played our music throughout the night after the cave was closed. As we played, our engineer, Dave Schonauer, recorded it all from the cave entrance. We ran a cable snake 300 feet down into the cavern for all our inputs.

Session 1 went late into the night but it was a success with 11 pieces recorded and some great cave sounds too.
