So here it is... my experiment; a Covidlaboration as Rodney called it. The idea was to write one part of a song, then have musicians I knew each add one part to it. In isolation, I figured we could come up with something interesting, but I had no clue where it would go. (And I needed a project to help my own sanity while living in such a strange and lonely time.)So I wrote a little tune on a bouzouki then sent it off... and here we are, 3 weeks later, completed.
Thank You to all the guys that participated in this!
