Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.

Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.

I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

This is one of those tracks that if you drift off to sleep while listening to it, you're almost guaranteed to have pleasant dreams. The fidelity of the recording is fantastic.

An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…

This is very cool. I forgot I had listened to this. There's this warm familiarity. Your Palette is very broad.

Agree - it's a score tune - and not just spaghetti westerns (whatever the heck that is). Luv the backwards delay.
