Hey There Delilah

Here is one from a session that Alan Auld and I recorded in the living room of where he was staying in late May of 2007. Alan and I were working together at T Bay Police where we discovered our mutual love of music. This is very simple, clean and pure. Alan has a naturally true voice. My guitar playing was single tracked, and recorded on an Ovation shallow bowl acoustic, miked without using the internal electronics in the guitar. These were the "Pretty Gypsy" sessions, and we did two other of my original pieces, but my vocals were, to be frank - brutal. I was going in for surgery a short time after that to remove the cysts in my throat, and there was a very real threat that I was going to lose some of or all of my vocal chords, so we hastened to get the recoding done. My vocals at the best of times are in the solid "C+" range and for these sessions, were off key in a number of places and my range was horrible. I will eventually re-record the two other tunes, "Pretty Gypsy" and "I Need Peace".

Please enjoy "Hey There Delilah".
