My favorite song to play and record was, "Keep Me Hangin' On" with Tricia Greenwood on vocals."
"The world is my studio. I've captured the best performances in the most unlikely places, said Sea, Even the slightest "performance anxiety" that can occur when the record light comes on is alleviated when you're relaxing with friends around the coffee table exploring creative ideas. It's a great way to "capture magic."
