Summertime - from Summertime - from

Girl From The North Country Girl From The North Country
An older Dylan tune redone here by Loose Canon on June 12th, 2010. This arrangement was quite spontaneous, and as a group we'd never done it before. Two run-throughs and off we go...
I Pushed Send I Pushed Send
My newest original is an homage to email-based ideological pissing matches and other modes of web-warriorship. All tracks are me except an acoustic noodler, mondo electric lead, and harp by Robert Darlington.
