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.
