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 :)
I like it more than Johnny Cash version of Depeche Mode song. I know your song only shares name and i actually expected this to be a cover. I'm curious, which software do you use for recording?
A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
Inspired by a gift from my Cousin Danita, a bird whistle.

Going through my collection over the years...thinking I'll post some of those old tunes (pretty rough and ready....one take, recorded on garage band I believe). Why not...life is short! Thanks to anyone who listens :)
Waldo has decided to journey out to find Carmen.
The accompanying song is a lovely shanty tune based on "A Drop of Nelson's Blood" Sung by the Mayoral Choir, the CoE presents; Another RPM
Picture Waldo in his first bar getting ready to…
Saying Sorry ....What a drag!
Saying Sorry
I ain’t no innocent
I don’t pretend to be
I’ve always wanted to go through this life hoping just float free
But then today it all went wrong
Everybody seems to hate me
When I’m just trying…
Maggie’s beautiful, heartbreaking hymn to loved ones lost too soon.
The intense, somber feeling of loss, both individual and communal, and support in the room as the other 6 or 7 of us listened to Maggie and Sara Beth perform the first take…
I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits.
Riding on a train to the edge of town
Where the night has just begun
People on the street with nowhere to go
Living hard and having fun
Everywhere I go there’s a song…
Okay, I was cut off so here goes again: I really like this. I can hear Tom singing this in my mind and it's really cool as well. You did a great job on this. One of my favorites. Dave C. (acoustic57) :-)

Great groove, brilliant instrumentation. I'd be interested -- two tracks? Guitar and mandolin? Sounds great!
