I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
12-string requires a greater sense of space, because it is, in fact, work with the orchestra sound (instead of more "focused" 6-string = black&white). And you got it. Now is the time to draw a picture, in color :-)
P.S. My favorite 12-string master - Ralph Towner, ECM, I listen to him often.
Well the song tells the story of the morning.... a lovely bleak, cold day. I decided on a simple a cappella arrangement to fit the feeling of the day.
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! To brighter days ahead!!!!
My Old Bones Know Better…
The Quarantine Kiss
Ever since all this shit began
Ive been socially distant
As safe as I can
Aloof and alone
But I’m not lonely
When I stay at home
I’ve got you to hold me
But there’s something missing
Are we being too careful…
@Andrew Russe: very perceptive. Yeah I had to listen twice to appreciate the thoughtful layering of guitars, which I actually didn’t use in my remix because the mix would’ve been too crowded. This has been an almost constant earworm this week but I don’t mind!
Like beavers and willows
Bats and mosquitos
Toad frogs and flies
Like algae and oil spills
Miners and coal hills
Black holes and light

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL WITH LOVE
You gotta be careful with Love (2)
There'll be days when the sun will shine
The Breeze of Love flow thru your mind
But keep a coat out on the line
'cause you gotta be careful with Love
You gotta be…
Well EVERY album needs a love song!
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU
Doctor says my numbers aren't where they're suppose to be
Gotta change my eating habits and work out more than once a week
I know I tend to get addicted to things that make me…
Sometimes we don't resist the brightest flame until it's too late.
ACETYLENE
Baby, you burn - I never learn until I'm on fire
A dangerous game - the hottest flame I've ever seen
I can't look away from your blinding display, drawn by desire…
A piece conceived a few nights ago after discovering a bit more about minimalist composer Harold Budd. I was looking through this vast discography and was intrigued by an album of his called Avalon Sutra and particularly a long piece 'As Long…

Conjures up images of cowboys. I approve! :)

Love the "crying" lead in the background.
This was a good pick-me-up for the afternoon. Very much enjoyed!
Got the mule loaded I'm on my way.......
Great playing mate very cool dig it.
You were made for 12 strings. I would like to hear a mandolin track layered over this. First Class!!
Wow.
Wonderful stuff man!
great 12 string sound and tune. Always amazes me that something as small as the R08 can record such great stereo sounds
Beautiful Kavin!
very nice,, i like the open "breezy/airy" sound/feel of this
Outstanding!
My friend, you have a knowledge of your instrument that I could never hope to have. Magnificent piece of music.
Faved instantly.
Sweet! That is a very nice tuning indeed. I've never thought about messing with a capo like that, but now I will have to try!!!!!
Excellent!

Very impressive young fella!! The guitar sounds fantastic.
Very nice finger picking, sir. I could never do as well. With my fat fingers it would sound like my cat was chasing a mouse through the sound hole. ER

I’m thinking of Dolly Parton when I hear this . Lovely!
Thanks Colleen! Just replaced with an improved remastered version!
Excellent. Spacious sound, moody piece.
I was obsessed with this song earlier this year, which led to a visit to Blind Lemon's grave. Good versh!
Tranquil but ominous..

Too much is..too much. More! More!
Pretty cool stuff. A deep well.
You’re a master at layering those vocals man
"remastered"
Cool song, great slide work!
Lovely!
This is my new theme song.
You went over and above! Nice!
Great songwriting! Really digging the album!
Good job!
Nice, Jim! Maybe I’ll woop my lap steel out for rpm.
That’s different. Nice.
Wonderful, well played
Thanks fudgetusk. Uploaded new version to correct some production errors.
