The latest rambling from me and my buddy on the East Coast, Polymod.
This started out as a simple acoustic drum test. I stripped my REAPER acoustic drums track template of all its FX and then put only ReaEQ and ReaComp on kick, snare, rack toms, floor tom and overheads. Once I liked what I was getting with just that, I added a track of bass and a track of guitar to see how the stripped down drum mix sounded with other instruments.
I thought it sounded pretty good, but sent a copy to my buddy Polymod to get his opinion, saying if he wanted to add some stuff, it could potentially be a song. It turned into this.

I named it "Oscar Blue" because my blue Oscar Schmidt Delta King semi-hollow body guitar was the one I used to record the initial guitar track. That guitar was getting all lonely on the guitar rack, so I put it to use.
