The Band Is Back In the Recording Studio After 50 Years

Fanny prepares to record their first album in over 50 years. Jean Millington shows her 1962 Precision bass as "the only thing my son wants to inherit!" Lead guitarist June Millington shares how she swaddles her vintage electric guitar "in my old pajamas... to keep them comfortable." Drummer Brie Darling warms up and shares how the bandmates would carry their own gear and set it up themselves.
