Deer Track, June 13-15, 2013


Deer Track, June 13-15, 2013 (mp3) (pdf)

As I prepared for my solo mandolin gig at Java John's tonight I dug out this previously unrecorded Deer Track piece from the summer of 2013. I was writing one almost every day, thanks to my Kickstarter friends, and this one didn't make the cut for the final recording. Since today is June 15 it seems like a good choice.

I will try and work this piece into a set of June Deer Tracks that I will play tonight at JJ's.
