I just uploaded my latest recording, Cottonwood Dreams:

http://52tracksblog.com/2016/02/18/track-7-cottonwood-dreams/

This is an all-acoustic arrangement that goes for a folky swing feel.
Real Tracks: 526 Acoustic Pop Swing Bass, 2440 Acoustic Guitar Fingerpicking Folky Swing, 1142 Ukelele Strumming Folk Swing.

I played harmonized mandolin parts and a fingerpicked acoustic guitar.

Thanks for listening and your comments. They have been helpful.

Fred

That is a pretty song and a nice sounding production. The doubled mandolin was a nice touch. I hope your wife is impressed 'cause I am.

Thanks all! My main computer died on Tuesday, so I shifted to the neglected one. Amazing how problems lead to solutions.

This is a good folk tune. I listened to several tracks of Peter, Paul and Mary yesterday and this would have been a tune I would love to have heard them do. You are really tuned into the vibe on this one. Enjoyed my listen.

Thanks, Charlie. That was the sound I was going for on the song. I saw Peter Yarrow in concert last year. His son plays washtub bass and is the spitting image of Paul Stookey and just as tall.It was a bit weird....

Another good tune from you Fred. You really have a feel for the folk genre and you do a very good job of it. It's nice of you to give this to your wife as a birthday present and to have someone who inspires you to write and sing.
