Behold, a new tune called "Trifling Woman."  It was fun to write and record, although (or maybe "because") I have no experience comparable to what the lyrics describe. The arrangement is more of a sketch than a finished track, but hey, it's close enough for the web.  Here are the lyrics.

Banks of the Ohio (audio)
Monday, 21 December 2009 21:41

Here's a traditional tune with the Tonellis' Scott Palmiter and Bob Stoppenbach on harmony vocals and lead guitar, respectively. "Banks of the Ohio" was in the first guitar chord book I ever looked at, back when I was a pre-teen trying to play my older brother's warped-neck guitar and too goofy to realize the strings aren't supposed to be an inch away from the fretboard. If not for that, I'd probably have started playing seven or eight years sooner. For all the good it'd have done.

Is that the ceiling or the floor?  The window or the door?  "Whiskey or Water" is a country shuffle recorded live with Sal Salvato on guitar, Holly Pintozzi on drums, and Mike Marsden on bass.  Here are the lyrics.
