I'll bet you've got them too!

Pilots and flight attendants spend a lot of time looking at their monthly pay statements. The system can be complicated, and small errors happen all the time. This one certainly took the cake, though, and is the only one that inspired me to write a song. In fairness, my boss was apologetic, and the company promptly sent a real check via FedEx.

I recorded inside the base of the Vulcan statue in Birmingham, Alabama earlier today. There are no audio effects, just reverb from stone and steel.
