And you must know...that you're my little....Sunshine.

Sunshine

A cover of the Josh Rouse tune from his "Best of the Rykodisc" years album. I did it in Logic Pro recording the vocals and guitar simultaneously live with two mics. Then I added a few layers of overdubs.

"Michigan" again, a Josh Rouse Cover that I did in Garageband for iPad. 

Michigan - (iPad Garageband Version)

I did a cover of Silent Night except in 4/4 time. It's in A-major. There's two steel string acoustics and one nylon acoustic. I was only going to do one guitar and a vocal, but then I heard Norah Jones cover a Tweedy song and the way she accented the chords inspired me to put down another acoustic track (as well as finish the song). I picked the Spanish guitar with arpeggios which normally wouldn't have done much, but when I put the "Thin Guitar Strum" setting from Logic on it, it made it sound almost like a banjo. So I left and righted the two steel acoustics and centered the picked nylon. I was never going to do Silent Night. I'd written an original Christmas song a few months ago, and then I happened upon Silent Night, totally by chance when I opened up a 500 song songbook, I'd gotten from my mother years ago for piano. Just by chance opened up Silent Night, and being a Gen Xer, thought it'd make a nice B-side to my original. This was probably October. Suddenly I couldn't get anywhere with either, productionwise. My singing was alway off. In this case I do think had I concentrated on one or the other, I'd gotten one out in a timely fashion for Christmas.
