Postcard
This one is called “Postcard” and it goes back years — written and recorded when daja was still an active part of the band — that’s her singing, not me (the more acute amongst you may have suspected!). We decided not to try and re-record this one when she came up last year, so this is the original 4-track cassette recording, done out at the farm maybe ten years ago or so.
We only needed two out of the four tracks available; this is just autoharp and daja. (The autoharp is being slapped rather than strummed.) Oh, if you listen close, you can hear a truck going by between the verses. Sweet.
Here are the words.

This is brilliant. The “texture” that the AutoHarp gives when slapped instead of being strummed is really good.
