Is THIS why I didn't get her???? I was certain Santa had her wrapped up ready for me this time and then on the day it was just the usual stuff under the tree
All I used here was the Yamaha nylon string. No effects, no other instruments, just was how the mic picked up what I was doing. I wish I had gone longer.
You might not believe this but, on all the tracks except "Lookin' For Love" I used an old Yamaha nylon string guitar. Rhythm instruments when used where either an old kick drum pedal against some packing foam that is screwed to the back of my old bass amp cab (cab isn't being used), stomping a kids tambourine or just my foot bumping on the floor (which I didn't realize until later was being picked up by the mic). Thanks much for listening :)

Dumb rocker with a not-so-terrible chorus, I guess.
The rhythm guitars are a Gibson Les Paul Custom coming out of your left speaker and a Gibson Les Paul Standard…
So just a little diddy about asking for more more stuff for Christmas!!! Loosely inspired by the animated movie Klaus.
Going to write a letter to Santa
Going to write a letter today
Going to write a letter to Santa
Just gotta figure out…
I stand at the timeless door
eternity beckons
I will leave this behind me
eternity beckons
eternity beckons
how strange the passing of time
to be so old and so young inside
the time has come
beyond my power…
If this sounds like it was recorded in a single take on a $7 USB microphone, and then cheesy audacity reverb thrown in, that's because it was.
The old guitar and its player are both on their last legs, but unpacking after a move it beckoned…
