Acoustic unplugged mix from digital master.
Lyrical, miracle, musical mile, greatness never goes out of style
Jerusha Band was formed in San Bernardino, CA back in 1969 when Roger met John, & Keith met John, and after some members came and went, it was just the 3 of them left....they called the band 69th Sundown, Ceasar, then Jerusha, and finally, Jerusha Band.
John transitioned as Johanna, and has been the lead guitarist of the band from the beginning, along with Keith "Buzzy" Wolk, Bass, the only 2 members who have played the whole tenure with
JB. But now my focus is on JLG, my solo band, and music, and changing the world through music.
Story behind the song
The song has become an 'internet sensation' one reviewer wrote....so here is a version of it about half wrapped, but interesting, nonetheless.....enjoy!
For the record, and contrary to rumors of a rock bass legend playing on the song are not true..but here are the credits at this point in the recording. the first tracks are laid on 5/23/11 in Hermosa Beach CA at the Production Co. The first 2 stereo acoustic guitar tracks are recorded, as well as bass guitar track, and 2 Stereo lead vocal tracks (doubled). Next Glenn lays down bass for main body of song, as Johanna did the bass on intro. Both were kept in time by Alesis SR16 Drum machine, (the best), until Tim Dinger can lay down the real time drum tracks.
6/23/11 sessions continue. Tim adds drum/percussion stereo tracks, while Glenn lays down the bass tracks.
6/3011 Lead Guitar by Glenn is cut and Dennis (Engineer) has laid down Hammond B3 keyboard tracks, filling out the song.
7/3 the final session to fix bass surges, and add the tick tock at the end of the song, and final mastering is completed by "The Production Co."

Lyrics
"The DOOMSDAY CLOCK""
Hail Medusa, Pandora's Box,
Comatose, and back in Detox,
Love's a drug, opportunity knocks,
Better make it, a double on the rocks,
Remembering how we laughed the night away
Wind reminiscing, rewind every day,
Doomsday, is coming, and nowhere to run,
Empire's crumbling, scientifically done,
There ain't no enemy, you can't defeat,
Tide's returning, my castle to me,
Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Bach,
Couldn't stop, the Doomsday Clock,
Time is marching, in cadence awry,
Dear departed: to live is to die,
Lennon, Kennedy, Martin, Tupac,
Bullet's stalk, the Doomsday Clock,
At the door, Reaper, you know his knock,
Your number's up, it shouldn't
come as a shock,
I found a key, and a map to the lock,
Recalibrate, the Doomsday Clock.
