"The Big One" CD Cover and Music Description
	"The Big One" was a pet project for Sharine, who was heavily invested in producing a "rock band" album at the time. Recorded in 1998 at Small World Studios in Venice, California, this seven-song CD lends poeticized themes of sensuality, fury, enticement, playfulness, and defiance. Guitarist and co-producer Ron Hagadone cavorts with slide guitar, wah-wah effects, and soundscapes from gritty to swooping to twangy. Bassist Tom Ciapponi and drummer Stu Silverstein were brought in under Hagadone's insightful music direction to provide suitable basic tracks. In keeping with the emotional energy and aliveness of the project, Sharine utilized scratch vocal tracks for keepers on "Endless Blue" and "Feed the Fire." (Continued below).
As for the CD cover image, she decided to use a photo extracted from a videotaped performance by Jeffrey Delman, which included all seven songs. The entire CD was recorded and mixed in just 30 hours of studio time with engineer Dave DeAvalon, and later mastered in Van Nuys, California by Phil Moore at GrooveMaster. Sharine popped some Champagne with Ron and Dave in the cave-like Small World Studios artist lounge to celebrate their monumental achievement. Debo and the Puffer Twins (aquarium fish) were celebrating with their own bubbles. A month after its pressing, The Big One" CD was featured on the local artist program of KLOS 95.5 FM in Southern California, selected out of thousands of submissions. (Thanks to Gary Moore!) CD INFORMATION 7 Tracks: She Says Oh, Feed the Fire, Endless Blue, Waiting for the Sun to Shine, Gonna Get Me Some, Turn It On!, Funny Way. Length 25.1 minutes.
