» Rose Petals

I don't recalll at all how the idea for this song came about, but Mick and I wrote it on the way home from a Nashville trip.  We had a lot of fun working on it.

I then worked with a local guy to produce the demo, Mike Dowden, who is very talented both as a guitarist and as a producer.  Mike did all the classical guitar work on the demo, but insisted on using my own guitar track as the foundation for the recording.  He then made a dry recording of my voice to keep the track "intimate" - but I later added reverb to the overall recording and prefer it that way.

This is one of the few times I have used my own vocal and guitar playing on a demo.
