One Guitar
Paul Kelly - All Those Smiling Faces
Episode notes
"'All those smiling faces' fitted the chords, then it felt like, alright, I'm on the way to a song" - Paul Kelly
Paul's song is inspired by poets from England and Poland, Paul's family and the concept of heredity.
The first thing Paul did was tune the One Guitar down a tone.
