I am currently recording everything on a TASCAM DP-008EX and then importing it into Reaper.
All of my acoustic songs are done on my Tanglewood acoustic guitar though occasionally I will use my Yamaha Guitalele. For my softer, dreamier electric stuff I use my Tangelwood hollow body guitar. For the the more aggressive electric I will use my Fender Squire Strat.
I play some cajon so that appears from tiem to time as does the shaker and tambourine.
I did get a new ukulele and a stylaphone which may or may not make it onto a recording.

@ceilidh Mar 13
Thank you for your feedback on Carnelian Carnival! Stay Well!

@tamsnumber4 Mar 10
I'm so glad you are still here, I never would have kept up with this output during FAWM, I do want to listen and will try to get back in from time to time!!
-
@audrey Mar 5
Thank you for taking the time to listen and make such the kind comments on 3 of my songs. I appreciate it. Hope you had a great FAWM 😀
-
@dzd Mar 4
Thanks! That little improv opened up a big can of worms I'd been trying to keep the lid on, not sure if it's a good or bad thing yet 😀
-
@bjunker Mar 3
Hey Catherine -- if you ever want to play together, at the perk & brew, or elsewhere (even just noodling on a porch!), let me know. Would be fun! (and maybe we could start a post-fawm party tradition in the 'burgh!

@matthew62 Feb 29
After listening to a couple of your fine songs and noticing your influences, I wanted to recommend, in case you aren't already familiar, giving Mary Gauthier a listen (particularly the Mercy Now cd). Your stuff reminds me a bit of hers. She's recently become one of my favorite songwriters.
-
@medievil Feb 29
Thank you for your feedback. Very appreciated. Amazing output you have.
-
@tamsnumber4 Feb 25
Thank you for commenting on my collab song "Kiss Me Again", I appreciate it!

@kahlo2013 Feb 22
You are too kind. Seriously! But I did truly appreciate your nice comment on Salvation!
-
@bjunker Feb 20
Thanks for your kind words on "Only For A Minute"! I tried to make it vivid but not completely specific, at the same time.
-
@sbs2018 Feb 19
Thanks for your comment on “Treat You Right.” So thoughtful.
-
@crisp1 Feb 18
Hey, congratulations on so many songs! You busy! I wanted to tell you that Mysteries of Pittsburgh is, of course, set in Pittsburgh so you'd get a kick out of all the mentions of places you know, including the incline you wrote about. I don't know if you enjoy fiction but it's really well written with very compelling characters and the author wrote it at 25 or so but he seems like an old soul -- in a good way.
-
@sbs2018 Feb 18
Thanks for your comment on “Hooked.” I so appreciate it.
-
@tamsnumber4 Feb 17
Thank you for your kind comments on my song, "Wash Me Clean"!

@arthurrossi Feb 15
Hey Catherine! I would like to thank you sooooo much for the gorgeous country-song you created for "Three words"! I absolutely LOVE it! Enjoyed your guitar play and awesome vocal delivery! The tune is gorgeous and memorable, and the chorus… wow! I also like how you sing the "I´m in love with you"-part. Thank you very, very much!
-
@cindyrella Feb 15
Thanks so much Catherine! So sexy and I love it!
-
@bjunker Feb 15
Thanks for listening to "if I forget you"!

@tabitha Feb 14
Hey, Catherine, I just wanted to say thank you for your lovely comment on Fragment.
-
@valeriecox Feb 11
Ok, so you have the harmonica low in the mix and I'm listening at low really volume at work, so that's how I missed the harmonica. Makes sense. I'm sure I'll hear at all the next bayou party though. See you there! 😀
-
@carleybaer Feb 11
Hey there! Sorry for the radio silence, I was out of town at a songwriting retreat, but I'm back now. Shoot me an email at carley {at} carleybaer {dot} com and we can get the ball rolling. 😀

And thank you for coming back! 😀
-
@highmountain Feb 6
Thank you for stopping by! The link wasn't broken. A technical error forced me to swiftly replace the recording with a better one. That is now done!
-
@scubed Feb 6
Thanks som much for your kind words on “Summer Heat Blues”! @bradbrubaker gets the credit for the Summer/Winter framework - I kept those lines from Brad’s “Summer Heat” when I morphed his song.
-
@srcoops Feb 6
Thanks for your kind comments on Senior Cards. I live in a retirement center where it's Bridge on Monday and Euchre on Friday. We use a block with the suits on the sides to keep straight what has been bid.
-
@crisp1 Feb 6
Thanks for all your recent comments, Catherine. FAWM really inspires me like crazy. I'm working on something for you -- I'm not totally sure I know what I'm saying in it, but I like the hook. Promise to get it to you within 48 hours.

@jamkar Feb 5
Thank you. 😀

@moonraccoon Feb 3
Thanks, Catherine. I like that the haunting feeling of the guitar is translating, given the subject matter of In the Silence.
It's good to see you back, too. Here's to a productive FAWM 😀 -
@kraftec Feb 3
Thanks for the comment on my song, I've already got vocals planned for that one but I've got others in the works that I'd love to hear your take on 😀
-
@tiller2 Feb 3
I appreciate your comments on "Play With Me." I'm so glad of the serendipity of skirmishing with a good prompt, which brought forth a tiny but valuable memory.
-
@tiller2 Feb 3
Hey friend, how could you possibly have so many songs already! 😀 Seems unnecessary to wish you a great FAWM, but I will anyway. Cheers.
-
@writeandwrong Feb 3
Sure, go for it 😀 Thanks for your kind comments on "Like A Ghost."
-
@crisp1 Feb 3
Catherine, if you'll give me a few days, I'll try to come up with a lyric that I will send to you with the first right of refusal!
-
@cherok40 Feb 3
Hi Catherine,
I will try.. but no promises.. if i don't feel it is right for the lyrics .. I will cancel the project. It is great that you want to sing! 😀 -
@kahlo2013 Feb 3
Thanks!!!

Well enough (oversharing alert incoming...) I was in a car accident on Thursday and I'm physically OK but still mentally dealing and processing that my car with 19 payments remaining on it might be dead... LOL
