Katzbachstrasse Sessions
Through July and August of this year I stayed in an apartment in the Kreuzberg area of Berlin - my first time there. It was a musician's flat so she had a piano and vintage organ. This apartment came up out of the blue, during a period where I was struggling to find anywhere suitable and staying in hotels, along with another apartment with piano. This one was cheaper!
I had a go at recording a version of "Balcarres Street" on piano and then "Wood For The Trees" sprung to mind as a song that might work solo on the organ (since the E keys didn't work that song is in a key which doesn't require any E notes!). Just for fun. I would do these differently if I had more time to work out arrangements.
