Ordered a Yeti Blue USB mic in late 2014 & have since been learning how to do simple home recordings (on Audacity) of songs I wrote ages ago but never got around to record. Voice & guitar tracks overlaid with basic percussion (djembes & shakers) plus some nifty 5-string basswork from Icco Elnoel & a dash of bamboo flute.

Strange Flesh (Icco Elnoel on bass)

Presence of Mind (Icco Elnoel on bass)

Black Widow (Icco Elnoel on bass)

Cover of a 1955 number originally written by Gilbert Bécaud with French lyrics by Pierre Delanoë. In 1960 the Everly Brothers recorded an English version with lyrics by Manny Curtis and it became a spectacular hit, covered by literally hundreds of artists over the decades. My version is mostly inspired by the Bob Dylan cover I heard in 1970.
