This is a great idea. And even better, he hasn't asked me for any money yet ;-)

Thank you very much for posting this andyhowell I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I will be sharing the process as much as possible, I'm really looking forward to making this record and I expect to learn a great deal during its creation! If it's ok with everyone here I'll post progress on this thread as we go, you don't mind if I hijack it? And that whole crowdfunding thing... Ha, yeah I know what you mean... It just feels wrong, especially with the weirdness surrounding kickstarter etc. I'm also not convinced that anyone would want to pay to have me come round to their house and give a private concert, bake them a birthday cake and hand over a commemorative packet of used strings etc... I'm happy to be proved otherwise but I've watched P2P and crowdfunding efforts close up and it leaves me more than a little queasy... I'm very lucky to have an audience and even more so that they show their support through watching my videos, booking Skype lessons and buying downloads and transcriptions. That in itself means a great deal to me.

You can bake? Is there no end to your talent Iain

michaelwatts Can I just make it clear, I don't want any cakes from you :-) Some 24/96K files in due course might be nice though (for a consideration of course),

Great idea to have a thread here! I watched the first video last week and really enjoyed it. I'll pass on the cakes too if that's all right. Doctor's orders.

Yes indeed, you can't argue with this kind of feel Although sometimes it's difficult to concentrate as all I want to do is listen to Matt talking about recording with T Bone Burnett and touring with the Rolling Stones and and and... argh... I'm just a fan at heart He is a wonderful musician and I'm delighted and not a little surprised to be able to call him a dear friend.

You said you'd like an accordion on the tango Michael, but I'm sure you meant a bandoneon.

You said you'd like an accordion on the tango Michael, but I'm sure you meant a bandoneon. I mis-spoke. A fact that was pointed out to me by my mother within minutes of that video going live! She's right and so are you.

An accordion would do the job.
