Hi,
In contrast to many other musicians I never managed to produce any home recordings during the pandemic. Instead, I spent all of my time and energy on adapting courses at my university to remote teaching. Well, with that done I have finally found the time to revive my home recording equipment and also managed to find new musical inspiration in the process.
Here is my first post-pandemic home recording: a rendition of Frank Zappa's "Twenty Small Guitars", performed on a Desert Rose steel guitar and a Fender Nocaster. Accompanied by a small software trio on drums, acoustic bass and piano.

Awesome Jan...Its good to here from you...Its been A while. I Love your Music. And I really love your tablature on Lloyd Green's Music...Best there is. I got A great compliment from Lloyd himself on A song called "Venus Moon" that I learned with the help of your great Tablature. Lloyd said that "Most but not All the positions I used were the Same that he used"...Your tablature for that tune was very precise...Lloyd himself said so. I cherish that Compliment that my Steel Guitar Hero "Lloyd Green" gave me. Thanks for this post Jan...You are A great Steel Guitar picker...and A great Transcriber.

Thank you for the kind comments. This tune has been on my wish list for a long time, so I'm glad I finally managed to record a version of it.
Inspired by Zappa's guitar sound on the original recording I also a made special mix of the tune, using a DAW auto-wah plug-in on the pedal steel fills in the second verse:

Bill: I am pleased to hear that you have found my transcriptions useful. It was an extra bonus to hear that you got compliments from Lloyd himself.
Best regards,
