I recorded this album in Montreal under the 'alias' David Bow (suggested by my father) on my very first computer (Pentium 3 with 256 MB of RAM lol) somewhere around 2005. I used a cheap $100 acoustic guitar and a $10 microphone, with the exception of "Tangled Weeds" which was written and recorded in 2012 one day about 4 days after moving to Welland Ontario using a "girly" purple miniature guitar that belonged to my best friend's little sister. The funniest part was that this girly guitar had the thickest, heaviest gauge strings I've ever seen.

07 Eyes That I Adore
First Standard guitar tuning and lyrics I wrote for this project.
08 Hush Now, Spirits
First "Tea Party" tuning song I recorded for this project.
First song I recorded for this project at all.
Recorded with the built in mic on my MP3 player at the time, which only recorded in WMA format... EWWWWWWWW!
09 Tangled Weeds
Written and recorded much more recently (May 2012) using a "bottle cap" mic on the previously mentioned "girly" guitar with Strings so thick they could choke a donkey and a pretty nice mic that came with an expensive USB sound card I bought.
Due to the nature of the guitar, the best I could think of was to record it twice and pan one left and one right, so that all the 'dead' notes would be less noticeable.
