Earlier this week, my two-year-old daughter and I were playing with my old Tascam cassette four-track recorder. She got a kick out of pushing the faders up and down to make the guitars and voices disappear and re-appear. I’m looking forward to the time in the future when she’ll be laying down her own crazy tracks. I had a tape in there of some stuff I recorded in September of last year. My friend, Famous M, and I were talking back then about all the stuff we used to do with old four-track cassette machines. It motivated me to dust off the Tascam and do something with it. What you hear is four tracks (two guitars and two voices stereo panned) in four takes. There is a pretty obvious flub before the last verse. I originally had the grand ideas to have my wife sing the second verse and to have some more instrumentation over the musical interlude. I never made it to those steps, but listening with my daughter almost a year later got me thinking I could throw it out there as is. I may revisit it with a digital set up to put out a more polished version with stings and pianos and french horns and shit.
