portraits of curious characters

ok horsemouth did not go out to record store day - he went and recorded instead.

artisan lapsteel guitar, zoom recorder, cheap sm58 copy microphone, 
recording either silver raven or sorrows of tomorrow. on the sofa 
- the 'bad taste' country guitar (cheap hummingbird copy). 
detroit arts festival t-shirt and remaining hair model's own.

he played a backup guitar part for the instrumental verse on silver raven and a slide guitar part for it - they will probably pull out horsemouth's backing vocal for this this bit (just to give the tune some variation). horsemouth has been a little scared of the lap steel after getting a good take out of it first time (on sorrows of tomorrow) and then never again subsequently - fortunately he seems to have broken that jinx.

they also had a go at recording sorrows of tomorrow - horsemouth put on an acoustic slide guitar part (tuned daddad to avoid that pesky major to minor thing) and a pedalling octave bass part (d and a) on the lap steel creating something of a shuffle beat for it. it was all sounding too busy at the end but by pulling it back to just the ukelele and the vocal and the shuffle beat (and then judiciously adding other elements only as and when required) horsemouth and howard think it can be saved. you may have to wait a few days to hear the result of these endeavours - howard may try borrowing a keyboard and adding it to some of them.
