Silver Bell Blues

Last year, at Christmas time, I was working on a slightly off-kilter, upbeat blues tune. About the same time, Outside Pocket was playing an event in Lansing called “Silver Bells in the City.” The two things merged to become “Silver Bell Blues.”

The sad news is that I didn’t get a good recording of the song from that event. Further sad news is that I can play a fast blues on bass, but am hopeless on piano, guitar, or any other instrument that would lead to a listenable demo.

The good news is that my old friend Paul Langford possesses those talents in spades. Here is a demo of “Silver Bell Blues” with Paul playing everything. I love how it turned out. Look for more collaborations with Paul in the future!
