A couple collaborations happened over the last few months with just wanting to record. First is a cover of the Swell Season’s “Low Rising.” Most of the foundation was recorded by me and I asked if anybody would be interested. These three musicians were willing to provide their time for me. “So Much Wine (Merry Christmas)” was Kim Schaefer’s idea. I said I would do it so as long as we finished everything under a week. We did and it turned out great.
