This section is strictly for you nerds and geeks (like me) who like to trace the origins of songs and how they started out before they got re-recorded, mixed and released. These are the demos I made while I was writing “Big Mess” in the 2020 lock-down. They were all written and recorded in a small writing room I have in my out-of-town place. Nothing fancy. My computer. A single hand-held mic. A single electric guitar. A single acoustic guitar. And a broken pair of headphones. In the end it wasn’t a problem. The limitations were fun. Even having no headphones was fun. Made no difference. This collection was the result of that period — April to August 2020. Forgive the funkiness of my sloppy guitar playing and crude production. Enjoy!
