I tried to use the iPad with GarageBand as a sort of musical notepad end of 2011, beginning 2012. Today I was trying to get the iPad to work with some other gear (it never has yet) and found this recording. An ad-lib sort of songwriting..

Adaptations of this track are allowed to be shared.
You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the artist.
Solo singer-songwriter and tunesmith playing British fingerstyle steel and nylon string guitar, and historic instruments. Scots and Irish influences.
I've been writing and playing songs and tunes since teenage years in folk clubs and pubs. I co-organise the Kelso Friday night live music sessions at the Cross Keys (hosted singaround 7.45-10pm) and Cobbles Inn (10-12pm open mic with The Cobbles Band) with the help of many friends. All welcome! Visit us at kelsofolkandlive co uk. It is worth clicking on the tab because the sound quality of my tracks is far higher than the auto player on this page. Many can be streamed or downloaded at 320KBps and the enhancement for solo guitar/voice far exceeds the benefit you get for highly compressed band recordings. My recordings are full dynamic, not compressed. Just select Hi-Fi for the first song, and an MP3 high bitrate window will open - you will still get a sequence of songs. Most of my downloads are free, but some 320KBps tracks are paid-for. These are selected because they make up my main instrumental album. I now have a YouTube page and have started doing some video recordings for fun: @daviddkilpatrick I have mainly played Lowden guitars since 1999. I current play a 1985 S5FN (nylon string), 1986 S22 (jumbo O-size mahogany/cedar), and 1995 S32 (small body rosewood/spruce). I also play my own 1997-built Martin 'kit' Grand Auditorium rosewood/spruce, a Sigma OM-T, Furch Little Jane, Tacoma Papoose, Guild 8-string baritone, Vintage V880 parlour guitar and Gordon Giltrap signature model, a Troubadour mahogany/spruce classical and an Adam Black 12-string. And that's just the guitars... also viola, mandolin, mandola, waldzither, bouzouki, Appalachian dulcimer, low D whistle, keyboards.

Story behind the song
This is not a written song, it was made up while testing an iPad recording setup. I think there was some snow or ice around and my velcro-fastened shoes with worn out soles were not very good. Some comment about dangerous shoes just sparked off a line in my mind. I don't quite get how I did the guitar, it's not my regular style and I can not just pick up a guitar and repeat this now. I can't actually work out what I was doing. The recording is really rough as the iPad put a mismatched metronome click into it (which I couldn't hear).
Lyrics
I'm wearing dangerous shoes these ain't no safety boots loose laces slippery soles these ain't got no steel caps in their toes these ain't seen no cobbler's last they're just made of plastic vinyl cardboard rubber and glue they're dangerous shoes Got to wear a hard hat got to wear a yellow vest Health and safety tells me got to do all the rest I'm wearing dangerous shoes These ain't no safety boots Velcro fastners slip-on too I'm wearing dangerous shoes
