Location: Phoenix AZ | Not sure why I'm feeling so melon-collie, but as the joy of the holidays unfurls itself all around us I can't help but stop and think of all those that are no longer with us ...
It's been a difficult year for many. Some of it very public, some of it very private. For the last few days this 45 year old tune has been running through my head so I sat down and did a quick-n-dirty recording (please excuse the rough edges).
Although not a christmas or holiday tune in the traditional sense it some how just seemed appropriate...

Happy holidays and best wishes.

One take, then went back and added a single note organ pad. Wasn't looking for recording excellence, more wanted to just catch the emotion. |
