Q – I really like the song, “Loveless” and have always wondered about that “dropped bongo” sound heard throughout – was that some sort of happy accident or the result of some clever producing?

Also, have you ever performed that song live? I don’t think I’ve ever heard you do it, but it seems to me like it would fit well in your solo performer sets…

A – It was a plastic cup and it was Fred Maher’s idea. Was it an accident? I don’t think so… but I’m a little fuzzy on that. I’ve tried several times to figure out a way to make it work on one acoustic guitar, you’d think it would be an easy one, but it isn’t. I’ll keep trying.
