Recorded August 28, 2009

Details: Martin D1 (DADFGC - capo II), Shure SM57, Audacity, Sound Forge.

After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don’t play much). This is a second take recorded in the kitchen at 1:00 am with low-end gear (it makes me cry to listen my recording after listening to Kirk’s stuff:)…and this is all I could remember of the tune I wrote 20+ years ago. Maybe someday I’ll do it justice…

Written in 1982 after a trip to Wyoming with a couple of Alex DeGrassi cassettes….

I wish you and Kirk lived right next door.

Kirk Lynch does indeed humble us all. But you're also not giving yourself enough credit. :)

Kavin - I'm going to be recording acoustic only for a while. As soon as I get another one done I'll add a new playlist.

Love hearing the two versions back to back, but I favor the acoustic side I think.

Beautiful. And since you mention it, I don't think that there's anything wrong with the recording.
