My sweetheart is quite amazing! He loves stringed instruments - understands them and is not daunted. And since he restores these beloved stringed instruments, we have quite a few.
During July, he played upright bass, cello, nyckelharpa (!) and dobro - a new instrument for him. I am totally blown away by his creativity, artistry and musicianship! I mostly marveled at is capacity and made lots of notes about each take and served as co-producer for these sessions. Here are a few photos from these sessions:
We have the possibility of more to come: guzheng, ngoni, racquet, gumbre - only time will tell if they all make it on the album!
I'm delighted to be able to play banjo and guitar and sing! It is SO fulfiling to have Mike's arrangements come into being after months of creating these soundscapes for my songs. I'm honored beyond belief!
