I’ve been listening to and playing Loudon Wainwright songs pretty much since I first started playing guitar, some 30 odd years ago – the lyrics are so clever, poignant or funny and the tunes are powerful yet straightforward enough to learn, and in some quantity it turns out. Wondering hpw to mark out tonight’s podcast, which is at episode 4 already, I decided to feature my own interpretations of mostly Loudon Wainwright songs and in the end as it turned out, nothing but Loudon Wainwright songs except for a couple of bonus tracks on the live Ustream after the recording had been switched off.
