WINTER SONG - Early 1970's Home Demo Recording

I recorded this song over 35 years ago using very primitive equipment. I rescued it from an old manky cassette tape.

I used a Tanberg stereo reel-to-reel recorder, bouncing the tracks to end up with a multitrack mono recording. The instruments I used were a Fender Rhodes piano, a Rickenbacker bass and an acoustic guitar (I can't remember which one).

The lyrics to the song are by Ian Joynson and the music is by me. This is the first version and just a bit unrehearsed.

@KenMiddletonUkulele I think it sounds fantastic. Like great wines, you sound better and better with age. I sure hope I'll sound as good as you do 35 years later.

My voice was lighter then, Dylan.

No, most of the guitars I have ever owned have been sold. They included: 4 Lowdens, J200, US Super Strat, 2 Guilds, HD28, etc. And tastiest of all, a '69 cherry sunburst Les Paul custom. I still have 4 acoustics and a Musicman bass.
