Today I recorded a song with BILLY ATWELL at AmpAudio.net studio in Hoboken, NJ – about 2 blocks from the house I grew up in. It seems fitting to have started “100 Songs In 100 Days” here in my home town with someone of such generous and adventurous spirit as Billy.

In about 8 hours – despite a major power outage that took down the whole block – the song was completed. After I laid down a rough of the song & did guitar/vocals – Billy tracked and performed all the other instruments; bass, lap-steel, sitar, guitar, drum programming, percussion instruments… everything.
