Beautiful canzone by legendary Italian cantautore Gino Paoli, a reflection on the power of imagination, the simple pleasures of life and how you can lose them forever. It's also obviously about a cat - and having two cats of my own, I can relate to that, too. By the way, at the end you hear my tomcat Speedy giving me a little bit of vocal support.

That‘s How I Got To Memphis

Inspired by a recording from the Kingston Trio, I did this take on an early Dylan song. So much fun to put down the harmonies and bring ukuleles and guitar together.

Your Kiss

My first try at a song with my cigar box guitar. Background vocals by our cat Bonita. :-)
