Greg Leisz helping out

Post by Jim Palenscar »

A few of us get together now and then and just play songs that we like. Occasionally we record it using Garageband on the IPad. One day just after doing this Rodney Crowell song(apologies Rodney) Greg Leisz was in the shop and I asked him to put something in this song despite the fact that I already had a track in and this is what he came up with- 2 takes! So it's a bit of a combo- and later he thanked me for letting him play a whole song :). Hope you enjoy it. There are a few more tunes on bandcamp under the artist name Just For Us . It Ain't Over Yet and Lyle Lovett's Road To Ensenada.

Is that you singing, Jim?? Excellent!

So is Greg, of course.

I'm just starting to look at home recording; what do you use? A DAW, etc.?

That sounds so pretty! Rodney would approve. :)

We just used an IPad app called Garage Band as well as a Scarlet for the interface between the inputs and the Ipad. Yup-'twas my golden raspy throat on Rodney's song. Thanks for the compliments :).
