my guitars are done…

all the acoustics are done…we used sev­eral sweet olden guitars…60’s Sil­ver­tone Arch­top (my very first gui­tar), 1975 Guild D-25 (my very sec­ond gui­tar) , 1970 Mar­tin O-18 (thanks Mr. Ian David­son), Santa Cruz OM (thanks again, Mr. Davidson)…we recorded the bunch with an old Neu­mann km84 into a Brent Aver­ill 1084 into a vin­tage LA3A into a Pur­ple MC77…needless to say, they all sound quite wooden and magical…like an early 70’s record…think Nick Drake…woodiness…yessss…lurvly…

bass is mostly done, just a few tracks left…again, full 70’s booty attack…with Andy Dondzila’s vin­tage Ampeg V4B head…

I’ve cut some elec­tric too — Tele thru Vox AC30 (Dave Brown repro…) Ander­son Crowd­ster Plus too…

it’s really sound­ing good you guys…perhaps more rawk than you are ready for? Aaron Clark last night was lis­ten­ing and said “it almost sounds metal…” after hear­ing Horse and Rider for the first time…I’m not sure it’s metal, but it does in-fact rock…

Crazy psy­che­delic loops com­ing next…

luv ya,
