Post More Annagrey+Canyon - Holiday Edition
Hi everyone!

Happy to be back...long time no talk.

I have been working with Annagrey on some more of her original tunes, and we're about to start actively booking the duo. I'm nervous and excited. Last night, we laid down a recent song that she wrote, entitled "Freezing Cold". It's a beautiful Christmastime tune.

I can finally feel myself making some essential mental connections on the Stick. No longer approaching it like two five-stringed instruments, or a guitar and a backwards/upside down bass, or anything like that. It's becoming one instrument in my hands and I'm so excited! :D

I can't wait to hear what you guys think - if you'd be so kind as to listen. Thanks!

Canyon,

beautiful pairing and a beautiful song! refreshing this time of year when you hear "everybody's waiting for the man with the bag" - can it get more generic and debased than that?

Her voice and writing are spectacular along with your great tone and wonderful performance.
IMHO, It is one of the overall better complement I have heard of Stick + Voice ( like Bowie's "Sound + Vision)

TAXI ,who I used to write for, is looking for original Christmas songs, but the listing may have expired. you may want to check into that today.

very nice, and can we get this on iTunes yet?

Thank you all~!

Always means a lot hearing good things from this community. I'm glad my idea of good tone is pleasing to others as well. We don't have it up on iTunes yet, but I'll run the idea by Annagrey. Maybe we will knock out a few more tunes for an EP or something.

I'm just happy to know a talented artist who is pushing me to play Stick exclusively with her - I always offer to reach for a bass, but she says no!

Dave, thanks also for getting Sound + Vision stuck in my head - I always love to have that song floating around up there. (Up here?)

Alas; looks like it's just expired. Thanks though.
