It's time again for another one take iPhone recording!
This time it's Warren Zevon's "Disorder in the House" from his final album, "The Wind"...
Check it out on the player to the right! Only one take! I overdubbed the solo obviously, but that was one take too! And I suck at soloing!
In the meantime, it's almost spring break! If you have a song you want to hear covered in one take on an iPhone, let me know...

Rush in one take
Who has the balls (or audacity) to try and tackle a 5 minute nerd-rock masterpiece on only an acoustic guitar and in only one take?
This guy.
So, having recently figured out the chord progression to Rush's 1987 sweetness known as "Mission", I decided to give it a go using my iPhone as recording studio as I have done so oft in the past...
I left out the solo section, as I had no marimba to play, and I realize that Geddy Lee's vocal range and mine do not have that much overlap, but I gave it a shot, and it was fun... There are flubs, but again, IT'S DONE IN ONE TAKE SO BACK OFF!!! If I had more takes, I could butcher it so much better...
The song appears to your right as the first track in the player... Check out the other songs I've recorded with my iPhone... "Glad All Over" and "Soldier of Love"...

Weekend in Ames!
Recently, as in last weekend, Emma and I trekked down to Ames, Iowa to visit our friends Jake and Carrie... It was our first time visiting them, and it was a great time!
On Friday night we headed down to Des Moines to The Grand Piano Bistro and watched our friend Leeds play in a (friendly) dueling piano duet... It was a ton of fun! They played great stuff, and we took part in some audience participation, including singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" at the top of our lungs on the front of the stage...
Saturday we bummed around Ames shopping, had Thai take-out for dinner, played some Catch Phrase, and ended the night with a couple stops at the downtown bars...
Unfortunately our buddy Glenn slipped on a newly re-frozen sidewalk on the walk home from downtown and broke his leg! Yikes! We hope he's feeling better and that he heals quick! He was ridiculously calm throughout the ordeal.. just lying on the sidewalk calmly saying, "Yeah, it's broke... yeah... I heard it..."
Then Sunday we stopped in Tha Dub-ya Cee for brunch with the fam...
Tibial mishaps aside, it was a very fun weekend!
