Arranged and performed by myself and Chris Smith (who normally builds spectrums!), for Brent's latest xchange cd. Song written by Mr Kinder. 2018.

It's been a long time. Too many distractions and not enough time, or even focus to play lately. Somehow this song, "Higher Ground" squeaked out from some hidden place.

Written for the January Song Writing Challenge put forth by Carl Unbehaun on Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. "Write about something new". Inspired in part by the disruption caused by the Government Shutdown.

True story about one of the best all around singer/songwriters I ever personally knew. He was invited to play in Nashville … then decided to move there … for some reason he just disappeared … all we heard were rumors.

I've been tinkering with this one for a week or two. It still needs vocals, and to have the midi drums swapped out with live drums, and some tighter bass work, but it's coming along.

Jon with I think Missy on vocals. I think this is a great song.

Since this song was recorded Reg has wisely moved house

A bit of fun - took some samples of Hillary Clinton coughing, Trump saying "Russia", TV media reporting, Bernie Sanders going "wooah woaah woaah" , and turned the whole lot into a rhythm.. All samples courtesy of the NoAgenda podcast…

Apparently this song is the quintessential Gary Fox sound. That's probably because it's done with a special guitar with a special tuning. Anyway, my favorite part of the song is the mid-section. This is a "listen loud in the dark" sort of song.
