Baby Steppin'
On December 30 and 31, 2008, Theophilus Monk got together again to write and record their second Album-a-Day (and their second album). We went all-out, using multitracking and several microphones and so forth. We hope you'll like it.Like a Phoenix from the Ashes, So Too Does Theophilus Monk Rise Again
