Another track from the no-spoons sessions!

There are harmonies on harmonies just waiting, but I blew my voice out for the day on this recording, so you'll have to listen to the other upload by the same name, and imagine.

The No Spoons Recordings

All The Best Reasons (A Tour of the Heart) -- Includes NEW 3rd VERSE

My voice is a little rough from chemo-induced atrophy, but it's getting better.  My fingers are a little numb from the chemo, too.  But this is where I'm at today.

No Spoons Sessions

Over Time Blues

Dig (Powderhorn Brass)

This is the rough recording after I had just written the song.  The lyrics and melody have both changed a bit since.  I'll probably remove this shortly.

I'll Be Right Here, Too

an out-take from "Remission Rag"

A snapshot of the struggle...


Piano / Guitar / Voice, 60bpm two-step blues

(chorus)
I'm in remission, the fuckin' cancer's gone (3x)

(verse)
Goodbye to needles, and all your bags of pain (2x)
... [piano goes a little wonky.  okay, a lot wonky]
..."WTF dude... (laughing) who's playing that piano?"

Remission Rag (outtake)

"Sweet Slow Soul"

I wanted to see how simple I could make the harmony, and test my sense that the whole song is one giant chord (it is, give or take a passing tone or two!)

One track sings the melody, the rest hold a single note from that same melody.

It's not polished, just an experiment for your ears

Sweet Slow Soul

Another sketch of how the Remission Rag might sound when it's done.  Guitar, vocals, two(!) bugle tracks.  Rec'd on a 4-track and didn't feel like bouncing tracks around, so no bass or percussion this time.

Remission Rag w/ a little brass

sometimes it's worthwhile to play a song in a new way. burn some tape as it were.

here's a new song I've been trying to record for a while, so I said screw it and recorded it double-time, Johnny Cash style, for the craic.

soft all the time -cash style.mp3

2nd lowest note, lowest actual note, both notes mixed just bc
