Christine was trying out some guitar for the album version of Ye Banks and Braes last night. I think that she has found new freedom in working on songs with the piano first - she is a classically trained musician, so she has a good musical knowledge on that instrument that goes beyond knowledge of chords. She finds the piano a very freeing instrument to work with. So I think that it will again be a "score it on the piano first" song. We may then have a look at working a guitar part to sing with - we shall see.
I had a go at recording a bass part for Aye Waukin O, but it simply detracts from the overall sound. Without the bass it sounds open and free - adding bass makes it sound like a band. To be fair, there is a fair amount of bass on Christine's guitar part anyway.
Cant wait to get stuck into finishing of Duncan Gray - we are going to go to town on this one creating a great party sound - all alcohol free as well :-)
OK Mr Robert Burns, more work on yer songs tomorrow. We have a live gig also going out on radio tonight, so we'll be doing three or four on there. More tomorrow.
