taking the '62 vette for a ride in the country


.:somewhere in the hills for canada day:.

while i know my dad would interpret the title of this post much differently than i intended, i still think it's amusing to talk about a guitar as if referring to a classic car. ah, good ol' gretsch!

this past week i had the new '62 (new to me) out on the front porch of the cottage, competing with, er, i mean, complimenting the nature sounds all around me. i've been trying to capture some of that glorious mountain magic on 'tape' for my new solo record that i've been babbling on about.

the conditions for yesterday's session were a bit on the breezy side and the mic felt it, so i'm not sure how many of the takes are usable. but it was sure awesome to set up there again and try to coax some sweet, mysterious and fateful sounds.

> yes i know, that's a rancher in the shot...the corvette was done for the day when i remembered to document the afternoon with a pic. :)
