At the beginning of the week I recorded myself playing bass for my Dark Halo instrumental. A few days later I added some Mellotron violin, cello, flute and Italian accordion keyboards to my version of a folk song. On Friday evening I recorded myself playing my mandolin on the recording of this song. It was quite nice to be able to use the mandolin as I haven’t played it on any of my recordings for quite a few years. I have added some more of my albums to the Elastic Stage website and here is the link to them:- https://elasticstage.com/thelegendarytenseconds
