Meatwood Flap

Meatwood Flap

Another session at NJA – getting the Brass section down for 4 tracks.

Tracks undergoing Brass treatment:

  1. Forgive me when I’m gone
  2. Lipstick.
  3. Rock’n’Roll lady.
  4. [to be decided]

The title of this post is “Meatwood Flap” in honour of Dan McCabe who’s not here, and his “rude band name” idea has been tickling us.
