This Week in Song: New Tin Tin Can "Any Stone"

This Week in Song showcases a new series wherein I perform a song a week (or thereabouts) in various locations around wherever I'm at at the moment. The first for your viewing pleasure is a new song I've written for Tin Tin Can called "Any Stone." The band has worked up a slightly different - and certainly less goofy version - of this song and we'll be performing it at the Friends of Spencer Bell concert and upcoming shows as well.

When we recorded this the temperature outside was around -4 with a windchill of who knows what. About halfway through the song I stopped being able to feel my fingers making the chords.
