There goes 2008

and good wishes for 2009 to all ljp contributors and lurkers from me.

lots of distractions from music in the last year, but things are picking up again. here's something we recorded a few weeks ago, called ducks on the pond. just shows how tricky it can be for piano and guitar to avoid treading on each other's toes.

that is beautiful sid. i think you and the guitar player a working great together. it is the most difficult type of duet though. that type of thing can not ever be totally tight unless you are performing it together a few nights a week for a year or more. happy new year.

many thanks for the good wishes, and the morale-boosting reactions to ducks. i'm taking them as a good omen for the new year.

savage, you're right - the piano sound is either a roland grand, or it might be from garritan jabb, i forget which.
