Franco sings and plays electric. Mino sings, plays his baritone electric (and fiddles too). Special guest, Michael, plays pedal steel and bass while Sebastian graciously rocks the drums for two songs.
An hour and a half of live, uncut music, half-remembered lyrics, beautiful chord progressions and haunting melodies. Two songs by Franco and several country and Americana originals by Mino. Thanks much to Michael and Sebastian and also to Lorna for the lovely supper.

Franco and Mino sing a five hundred-year-old carol which lends itself very well to groovy bass, organ, congas and guitar.

Another haunting and beautiful tune by Mino. Recorded live. No overdubs. Franco plays his wooden recorder purchased on his trip to Italy. Mino plays Franco's classical guitar.

Mino does a great rendition of this cult classic (Franco has still not heard the original and isn't sure he wants to.)

Recorder: Franco

She is a little girl,
who plays beside the ocean.
She is a woman,
who's won every man's devotion.
Song by Mino Christante

Mino and Franco finally carve out sometime to record another half-hour podcast. First, they jam on an E minor, making it up as they go. Next, they play a haunting tune about broken promises and someone waiting in the corridor.

On a dark winter night in 2017 Mino and Franco met after work and recorded this dark but whimsical not-quite-country-rock song. Be safe if you listen while driving. You don't want to wreck your mercedes.
