about

In July, immediately after the full pandemic/stay-at-home lockdown in 2020 was eased off, Tom and I started getting together at least twice a week. Publically and socially, nothing was happening and any long-range travel was out, so playing and recording was a fun and productive activity that we could enjoy in the relative isolation of it all. And even though It was still masks and fist bumps and mostly staying 10 feet apart, we both declared that our music helped keep us sane and creatively engaged in those hard times.

This one-day session was recorded on the afternoon of Thursday the 27th of August.
Outside of simple EQ and instrument balance mixing there are no edits, overdubs, or added effects. The pieces have been reordered but if you wish to listen to the session in the exact sequence that they were played, swap tracks 1 and 6.
