I played a show tonight where everyone did 10 minute sets. I used two amps. Played Little Birdie and looped the main thing, a 4 bar loop of just the rhythm and a B chord, then sang over it and added on to the loop after the singing and improvised over it. It felt like about 10 minutes I did the main part of the loop mono, then the parts I added had stereo ping pong delay The way I sing Little Birdie is closest to the Roscoe Holcomb version but the lyrics are a composite of different versions

What started out as me hearing the Byrds version of Dylan's Chimes of Freedom a year or so ago and thinking that I'd like to learn it, quickly became an obsession. I invited David Bergander to come over to play on a session in my home studio in July of 2025, and one of the songs we did was this one. This was was then worked on more meticulously than I'd like to admit over the course of many months, at times left to sit for a while but always returned to. In the winter of 2026, I invited Walker Teret and Marie Herrington to contribute backing vocals, which they did, separately and remotely, and might I add, awesomely. I worked on The Further Inventions of Big Ten as a parallel process though I started later. It's a reframing of the 10/4 riff from the Dead's Playin' in the Band, as you'll likely recognize. I recorded the initial guitar tracks in the week following the passing of Bob Weir, and I was thinking about it at the time as being a tribute to David Crosby too, whom Bob credited with coming up with the riff at a jam in Mickey Hart's barn in 1970.
