I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs. What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week. I'm working on finding out how to get acoustic stuff down consistently and effectively within the confines of what I've got here - I wasn…
