Very enjoyable indeed, and impressive, too. Thank you Wade!
I didn't feel that what you played suffered from not having percussion at all. It had a fluid, floating feeling which percussion may have altered. And you both knew what you were doing, recreational pharmaceuticals or not as the case may be...
I can just picture this in FNQ. I had two brothers down in Brizzie for a while - one suggested I might go over and do some opal fossicking, living in a tent or old bus or opal cave (this last must be an amazing way to live - I have seen some incredible photographs) and going to town at long intervals to sell opals and get supplies... he reckoned it would suit me perfectly...I was tempted...
Anyway, guitarists, like pianists, not infrequently play unaccompanied, so adding a horn works - in the right hands. Guitar and clarinet or flute works, banjo and clarinet, too.
Taking the idea further, playing a horn unaccompanied is a real challenge for all but short pieces if the audience is to remain interested . I have a Jimmy Guiffre CD (Free Fall) which is worth listening to.
