About Under the Pine Tree

I wanted to create a song with a very earthy, folksy mood and a texture.  
This meant only acoustic instruments, and only common, portable acoustic 
instruments (no accordions or piano). I also wanted to record real harmonica 
playing since I had been getting better at the ole mouth harp.

The entire song was written and recorded in just about three hours, and I
made a point of it to not over-rehearse any of the parts, but to simply 
decide on a part and then record it.  It might've been a few takes on each 
just to make sure I could play the whole thing without messing up, but each 
instrumentalist treats the song very much like a spur-of-the-moment jam.  

I imagine the song as a jam played by four people under a pine tree.
A guitarist who sings a somewhat free-style poem with a free-style blues melody.
A shaker-player who sings a little bit of backup vocals.
A hand-drummer who sings some backup vocals too.
A harmonica player who rocks out the whole time.

Interesting note about the instruments used in recording the song.
The guitar was my paternal grandmother's classical acoustic, missing
the high e-string at the time of performance.
The shaker is a single maraca from I think Jamaica (possibly Ecuador, 
I've since forgotten) given to me from a friend.  It almost sounds like 
it just has dirt in it - very earthy.
The hand drum is a tabla (aka doumbek I think)from egypt, given to me by 
another friend. Incidentally, the maraca has a snake drawn on it and the tabla's drumhead
is I think fish skin (some kind of scaly creature...)  Also, from two seconds
of youtube research, I think mine might've been tuned lower than normal.
And the harmonica was given to me by a blues-harmonica-hobbyist family friend
who lives in a very old house in western Massachusetts.

And I have no idea who Jenny is.
