No fancy reason this time for my song selection. Since Coldplay released it, I’ve loved it. I hope you dig my jive. <3

For a while when I was a kid, about the time when Dad left, Mom would play this once or twice while I fell asleep at night. It made me feel safe and relaxed while dozing off.  Now, as a parent, I try to remember those sweet extras mom considered and do the same for my Muffins.

I brought the recording equipment onto the back porch and waited until nearby children settled long enough to play it through. I hope the passing cars and birds add something to your listening experience.

Recording this was incredibly different than any other experience I’ve had. Generally, I hit record and erase several times before I even listen to the play back. This time, I just played it through once without fussing or stopping. I didn’t over think it, I just played. I’m not sure if this will ever happen again, so here’s the best example of what my first take sounds like.

It was one of my Dad’s favourite tunes and I played it privately and at his legion. He loved it performed as the record sounded, so I never messed with his magic. I think he’d dig this version though. Still thick with the songs original intention, but braised in my brand of Dad sad.

Thank you so much for listening.

Afternoon, Ladies and Gents! Please enjoy this Mike Nesmith cover.  It’s where I got my love for stomping songs. Can’t beat the original, but it’s my best effort.

This week’s song is Fleet Foxes’ Drops In The River. The lyrics are haunting and the melody so lonely sounding. This is best listened to when there’s nothing else going on and you’re in a quiet spot.

Tell me what you think!
