I've been working on making a slightly louder version of the song over the past few months and then through the miracle of modern technology I was able to get Colleen to add her vocals. So - boom - new single is done and out along with a cool YouTube video. Hope you like it!</p>

The whole thing started out pretty shakey and lo fi but gradually I got the hang of it and it got better. Every week I'd pick some folk related topic and dive deep into it, taking time to veer off carelessly into any old side story I happened to run into. At the end of most of the shows - I'd do a song. I went through all the songs over the last month and picked 12 that seemed to be pretty good. I tidied them up as best as I could and I'm putting them out there for anyone to listen to. They are all traditional songs except End of the Show by the great Frank Nevada and Dying Crapshooters Blues by Blind Willie McTell. Mostly I'd just figure out the song the day before and then sit down in front of the camera on Sunday and record them so there's a lo-fi punk approach to alot of them. A few of the later ones got more production but were mostly put together over just a few days. </p>
<p>Now that I've got this done - Colleen and I are already talking about the next album. Cant wait!</p>

<p>I did a take of Walking Down The Road Feeling Bad which is a Traditional folk song 'of uncertain origin' which is my favorite kind of origin. Lots of people have done it before and after Woody but he kind of owns it doesnt he?</p>

I saw the blockbuster 'The Joker' the other day and was astounded to hear about 20 seconds of JCF's 'Carnival' in the film. What a sad and beautiful treat! The song fit perfectly into the movie theme and although we only got a snippet of the whole song, the title was referenced in the dialogue as well. Check it out:</p>

The only thing finer than hanging out in the Market on a summer Saturday, sipping on a tasty beverage while listening to the Sad and Beautiful music of HMHFAS is if Grier Coppins gets added to mix. Wait - that's what's happening. Hope to see you there.</p>
