To kick off  "Sings Country Classics" in an underwhelming style, I recorded a cover of Glue by The Gerbils. I set the microphone on my shit computer to 57%, because mum was born in 1957. Shame, whatever, she's still prettier than you. It maxed out heaps. I would like to thank my mum and The Gerbils, who are The Greatest Band. In coming attractions... Emmylou, Carters, Elizabeth Cotten, Bobby Denis, Gerbils recordings which do The Gerbils justice, and All Of Your Favourites. One track per day. Some even recorded well. Eventually. 
Mum has started playing her dad's tenor guitar recently and: 
1) she shows a lot of promise at playing C,G,F,D, Am & Em. Once she masters Dm, we will have a lot of chords in common. 
2) she wants to form a band called "eat a puss", or something that sounds like that, but i reckon that's misleading.
3) I'm really pleased I didn't give the tenor guitar to Delaney when he asked for it, even though he can play it waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than I (or mum) will ever be able to. I didn't realise quite how nice an instrument it was until he picked it up, started playing it, and then asked if he could have it.
3) The only person I could imagine wanting to give it to is Beth Gibbons. Or Delaney, if he really wants it, and Mum is cool with him borrowing it.
