Spending the early afternoon writing a little bit- couldn't help but to miss my grandmother throughout the day. I've written and scrapped well over ten songs about her over the past 20 months because they just never feel "right". For some reason, what I'm writing this afternoon seems to be much different. This could definitely be one for the record.


Also, I've been looking over pre-production recordings that Ben and I have done so far and jotting down ideas to really make this whole record the best it can be. We're really honing in on what we want the general sound and style to be like, and I'm very pleased with the way things are going. We won't be using every single instrument for every single song, but definitely be on the lookout for:

-Mandolin
-Harmonica
-Fiddle
-Guitjo (6-string banjo)
-A ton of stomps and claps
-Hitting tambourines with hammers

Getting more and more excited every day!
