It's been really nice getting back into playing guitar and singing again- feeling those L hand finger callouses forming again and my voice starting to 'wear in'. I have been working with Gordo Hardie on a set of acoustic tracks (theme: female artists) and it's come together sooo well. His guitar playing has been injecting some great energy into the songs and I've ended up ditching the electric guitar and am gonna play my Taylor GSMini for the first time - didnt think my fingers would be strong enough (!) but they have stood up to the challenge.
In our jam sessions, one of the tracks he suggested was Bette Davis Eyes (by Kim Carnes) and that has been particularly really fun to play and learn about- apparently Bette Davis loved that song so much that she wrote to the songwriters to let them know - why she loved it is that her grandkids thought the song about her was really cool (they weren't really interested in her films but loved that song!).
