Mino and Franco rediscover a slow burner from Mino's past, sing some Cat Stevens and discuss the pains and rewards of busking in the streets of France and Italy. On a whim, they play/remember a bit of "Tom Dooley," and "The Way You Look Tonight" and end with "Grace Before Meals," music composed by Franco.  Thanks for listening.

One sad but feel-good song by Mino.  Franco on guitar, backing vox, percussion and bass.  

Mino sings and rocks his baritone electric and Franco shreds his Mahogany Martin. We're on the web and it sounds like the police are coming.

I don't think it's possible for you to enjoy listening to this tune as much as we enjoyed recording it. But you should try.

Mino and Franco play a lovely, long and luscious version of "Dave's Song," written in the early 2000s by Franco for his room mate, Dave. Franco sings a little bit.

The night ends when Franco loses his phone in the piano... (Sorry Aunt B)

Van Gogh was a wonderful artist and a bit crazy...just like Mino and Franco.

Franco's Poetry:http://www.awkwardguy.com

Do musicians know what listeners want? We discuss the question, play three songs and drink home-made cider. Mino sings a chilling rendition of, "American Pie," at the end of the episode.

Americana at it's best. Two acoustic guitars. Late night. Mino singing. Franco tired. The first take is so often a keeper. Recorded live in the music cabin.

This song could be New Age- except that it's too good. I love to listen to it while driving at night.  Different than our Youtube version. 2nd song we recorded after starting MNWM about 3 years ago.
