Recorded using 12 string Grand Stick

13. Little Miss Laptop
In the Puamana community in Lahaina, many of the units were used as vacation rentals when the owners weren't there. One week might be loud partying surfers going until late at night and the next week it might be a very quiet family from Fargo, North Dakota. You never knew who the neighbors would be next week! One week we had a single lady who was there for an entire week and, as far as we could tell, she never left the place until she rolled her luggage out and caught the return flight. The entire week she was glued to her laptop screen morning, noon and night. I kept thinking- how odd- why on earth would someone come to Maui to spend 7 days staring at a computer? You could do that in a Kansas City Motel 6 for a fraction of the cost but, of course, the weather and scenery would not be as nice… I first started playing this tune on the little SG-12 Stick Guitar. Later I recorded it with Steve Hargrave on drums using a 12 string Grand Stick. I got little carried away with the overdubs and was using a stereo wah wah pedal that allowed me to bounce the signal from left to right using my foot while I was playing. Hearing it through stereo headphones can mess with your brain so I wouldn't recommend it (unless you liked Jimi Hendix's Electric Ladyland album). Here is a shot of Steve Hargrave recording the drum tracks:
