Oh, wow - the Good Enough Gospel is so great. Thanks so much for getting it out there.

@nancycunning I saw that! I was gonna comment back that I didn't write the song you mentioned but then I got distracted and spaced on it. Either way that is hilarious. And I have a little sketch of the Good Enough Gospel going. Hopefully I'll be able to flesh it out and post it soon

Hi - I delivered a comment I’d made on a song that you hadn’t written. Got mixed up between Facebook and here in the excitement of the outage. So in case you were wondering if you are crazy. You aren’t. I am.

Sounds awesome! I usually use GarageBand on my iPhone. Would you like to do music or lyrics? Any subject ideas?

@nancycunning
Thanks so much to listening to my Rilke song. I'm going to email you a lyric for possible collaboration - I feel like it bubbled up out of listening to Take My Word For It, our Monkeys Typing Shakespeare song, and a forum about people not wanting to release music until it's perfect...

Since you asked: one live take of voice and guitar together, large diaphragm condenser at mouth level (AT 4033 to be specific), and a pair of omnis directly behind the LDC, which have the reverb send. Sort of mid-side the hard way, I reckon.

Ooh yes banjo collab would be amazing! I’m more of a clawhammer kinda gal! How about you? Are you thinking instrumental or song?

Hey, welcome back. So glad we're here. I still smile every time I hear or even think of you playing Monkeys on a Typewriter for FAWM 2022.
