Recorded with my friend Darren Tipper, who lives in England and bounced this back and forth with me for awhile last year via the BandLab mobile app. I did the drum loop, lap steel, bass, banjo and vocal. Darren did the mandolin and organ.

First completed solo project after a years-long home recording hiatus. Recorded into BandLab running on an old iPhone, which is a surprisingly fun way to work.

A sense of Roxy Music in this and for a home recording has a very nice present feel Ben. Congratulations on new work after a year long, it happens, sometimes as in my case with another muse coming to surface. I'm glad you returned!

I’m a middle-aged guy with dark blue-green skin and I live in rural Missouri outside of St. Louis.

I play guitar, bass, lap steel and am learning guitarrón. Since 2020 I’ve been exploring collaborative long-distance recording with a few online friends.

from Troy, Missouri
