So that's the inside of the barn. The set-up was incomplete at that point, lovers of cymbals and cables and mic stands and all that jazz, but you get the picture. Also, it's the inside of the barn by daylight, you lovers of twinkly lights. And it's a bit of a close-up, lovers of all the space to left and right and up and (on the right anyway) down.
Anyhoo, this batch of songs rounds out the cream of the crop from Friday, which was a short go of things to begin with. We've got other stuff on "tape" but it's strictly for the professional archivists and humble self-flagellators. The cuts below, though, are for public consumption, so long as you listen with gentle ears and kind hearts.
The major upside, evident upon dropping needle into groove, is that Charlie and Roger had arrived, thus kicking us up out of the gutter and bringing some focus and, y'know, quality and actually planned "notes" and such. Witness a really quickly thrown-together "Drive My Car". As for all these, Roady is on drums and Charlie on guitar. For this one, I can only guess that it's Adam on tambourine, possibly Dirtbike Richard on guitar, Roger on bass, and me on some rudimentary piano
Next is a solid stab at the blues classic "Key to the Highway" (which I learned from Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes, but which dates back electrically to Little Walter and further back acoustically to Big Bill Broonzy). Man, but we need to do this more often! That's Roger on second guitar and me on the bass.
From there we backslide into Honcho-plus-one-town with a run-through of our own "Jenny Everyday", with Charlie gamely along for the ride and making things so much better and kind of Chris Isaak-y now that I listen to it again. Then it was time for young Oliver Sorkin to head to bed or wherever hisself had to go, so out came a hot-rodded "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" and Roger sang and danced around.
Thus was Friday, as far as the Tiny Robot was concerned.
