Takamine 12 string through my pedal board into a Peavey Bandit.  3 mics are SM57 close to the soundhole, AKG890 in front of the Bandit, and a room condenser mic.  More to come, I just set up my laptop for recording!

I recently found my Rythm Band Portaharp cleaning up the garage, tuned it up and this is the first recording I did with it.  John Prine's 'Lonesome Friends of Science'.  I've played this one for a few years on guitar.  Recorded with a single mic - a Bumblebee usb, added just a bit of noise reduction and reverb.  You can hear my loud cat Navi close to the end.  enjoy.

Lonesome Friends of Science - Autoharp'd

This is a cover of a cover.... I enjoy both Beck and Wilco's version of what could be Daniel Johnston's greatest.  I'll probably redo it someday and add some more weirdness and percussion to it.  I recorded quite a few of my favorites back in March, might as well upload them and see what happens!  Eventually I'll play these and others live, looking for other weirdos just north of Austin to make some fun music with.

True love will find you in the end - Daniel Johnston cover

I got reminded of this one seeing Wilco a few years back, they did an acoustic set at the end, it was magical.  I recorded quite a few of my favorites back in March, might as well upload them and see what happens!

Key to my heart - Doug Sahm cover

This is one of my faves of his, I've learned a few others but this is the first one I just had to sing.  It works on capo 4, 5, or 6, just a GCD progression.  I recorded quite a few of my favorites back in March, might as well upload them and see what happens!  Eventually I'll play these and others live, looking for other weirdos just north of Austin to make some fun music with.

Here's another great John Prine song.  I had to soften the verse about Molly, just couldn't do the original one.  I saw Conor Oberst do a great version of this song, made me want to figure it out too!  I recorded quite a few of my favorites back in March, might as well upload them and see what happens!

Pretty Good - John Prine cover

This was one of the first songs I every sang in front of people...maybe 20 years ago.  This is based off of their acoustic version, where John Stiratt plays a 12 string.  My 12 is a Takamine F385 'Martin Lawsuit' version from 1977.  I recorded quite a few of my favorites back in March, might as well upload them and see what happens!  Eventually I'll play these and others live, looking for other weirdos just north of Austin to make some fun music with.

Misunderstood - Wilco cover

Daniel's original was just his voice, but I stole this arrangement from Bright Eyes.  Honestly, I love recording covers of covers.
