Due to a series of unfortunate mishaps, our initial recording plan for the weekend has gone seriously awry. We did, however, have 15 minutes to write, record, and mix this little duet. Yep - another 15-minuter.

We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed. We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…

A short piece, written and recorded by a few of the string players a while ago. Instrumentation: Resonator Guitar Acoustic Guitar Banjo Bass Light Piano 2 Clarinets Drunken Crooning

Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall. The title comes from a quote from…

Wrangled in the string band to a play a pleasant little toe-tapper. Instrumentation Resonator Guitar Resonator Bass Banjo Guitar Case Clapping Serrated Knife Voice

Another written-recorded-mixed-in-15 track.

Small sketch, to be made into a real-life song, once the cellist takes care of his debts. Instrumentation: Piano

Ol' Banjo Bill kept playing this riff, so we decided to make a little ditty out of it. We're thinking of actually making it a song. Instrumentation: Banjo Guitar A Comb and a Pen 2 Fairly Drunk Singers

Just a quick conceptual sketch of a new piece we're brewing. 210 bpm, 5/4, with 6 bars per phrase. We'll probably take this down once we've got more there. Our poor pianist will probably get carpal-tunnel syndrome from this. Instrumentation…

We found a nice bathroom, and, moved by whimsy, decided to write this little shuffle for y'all. Took us about 15 minutes to write and record. It'd lose its spontaneity, otherwise, no? Style: Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young-esque Bathroom Folk Instrumentation…

Brief musical sketch, to be transformed into a teary-eyed country weeper. Instrumentation: 1 Dobro Resonator Guitar, played on both sides of a slide. [If you give a page a dobro ...]
