"Summertime"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I'm not sure if I played the very last guitar notes right.  I know it's a slow arpeggiation of A minor, but I'm not sure which notes exactly.

Also, I've been thinking about what I'm doing, and I'm not sure if it's really worth it just to re-record versions of all of these if I know the parts already.  So I'm going to postpone this for now, and for the next group of recorded songs ("Kind of Girl," "Sometimes," "Woman," and "Leave Me Be," recorded 31 August and 5 September), I'm going to try to learn some more parts before I record them.  So I guess I'm turning this re-record-the-catalogue project into the same thing I do with Odessey and Oracle* - record a version each year and hope that I've learned some more parts in the meantime.  I'll add more songs as the 50th anniversaries of their recordings come around, so I'll have a few coming up next week.



*Incidentally, I've been thinking of moving my Odessey and Oracle recordings to 19 April (because that's when the album was released) instead of early January.
