Story behind the song

The conclusion to my first open jam with Jake Mackey.  To say it was an excellent night would be a tremendous understatement.  Jake is a humble, gracious, and immensely talented player and it was a thrill just to be playing along if for no other reason than to have the best seat in the house.

Again, my guitar is the louder of the two in this mix due to the placement of the recorder.  The LS10 was set up where I could monitor it just off of stage right, near my amp.  In general I think the recording is reasonably good, but to get an ambient recording that accurately captures the stage balance and vocals in the future, the LS10 needs to be mounted in the center and well out in front of the band.
