Interestingly with full sun, the outside temps around 100 and all the heat from the electronics we had to get creative with a garden hose! So, we bought a couple of soaker hoses at our local Home Depot and serpentined them on the roof of the bus secured with rocks and ran the water to try and cool things down. Not sure how well it worked but we had one crazy water bill that became a significant part of the budget. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo many more stories but the best one is this; With Perkins, Bob Halligan Jr. and a killer group of musicians from my band and beyond we wound up with a record that was hotter than the heat we had to deal with and one that would encourage people with principles and truths of The Gospel in a language our audience could understand…and That’s Wear Your Colors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/9196\/files\/rick-cua-autograph.png?v=1642172646\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/9196\/files\/rick-cua-autograph.png?v=1642172646\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" data-setdir=\"false\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWear Your Colors (3:53)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlex (3:27)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Raging Fire (3:50)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHungry (3:22)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLemme At ‘Em (3:36)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGot The Rock (3:03)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnchained (3:41)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNightfall (4:02)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHats Off To You (3:06)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLine Of Fire (4:10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/9196\/files\/LAYOUT-wearyourcolors.png?v=1643130267\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/9196\/files\/LAYOUT-wearyourcolors.png?v=1643130267\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduced by Dave Perkins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMusicians:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrums: Mike Mead\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGuitars: George Cocchini, Dave Perkins, Ron DeRollo, \u0026amp;
