Earlier this year I wrote a song called “Ode to Soup.” Although the song was far from complete, I published an early demo version on this site because I thought it would be interesting to hear the song mature over time. The final version will be recorded during Thanksgiving week, and posted here in December, unless rather than maturing it becomes stuck in that awkward pimply stage of adolescence in which case it will spend a few years working at the car wash to develop character.

Anyway, my juvenile demo recording has recently returned from a summer in southern California, where it acquired a great loopy fretless bass line thanks to my 6-fingered friend Andrew.

From here, the song flies to Cincinnati so my guitarist friend Steve can compose a guitar solo in 15/4.

Meanwhile I’ll be re-tracking the drums with my acoustic kit, and probably re-tracking the dulcimer too, with better microphones and my whizzy new deck.
