What is it like to play in a band with your daughter? Do you ever find yourself battling between band member and dad? – asked by Jana of First Angel Media The Song: Sunshine, Take Me Away “Sunshine, Take Me Away” by Chip & The Charge Ups This song was inspired by the seemingly never-ending winters in Pittsburgh. Once we get into March, it seems us “yinzers” are dying to see what we haven’t seen in months: the sun! We are just tired of winter! But, being creative, we made the song metaphorical by describing a long-distance relationship where reunions are like seeing the sun after a long winter. Unlike the other songs on the album, this song was co-written and produced by Sean McDonald. Sean is...
