"Happenstance" was written back in 2013 when it seemed like so many of my close friends were going through divorces and tough splits with people they'd been with for years. I recorded and released the first version with the Ventucky String Band in 2014 on an album with the same title, though I was never happy with the tempo of that version.
I decided to re-record the song for Reflectere with a slower tempo, and more guitar and dobro accompaniment. This version also features Rick Clemens on up-right bass, with the guitar and bass tracks being recorded in Ventura in 2019, and the dobro and vocals tracked in Eau Claire, WI. in 2020.
Thanks for listening/downloading! This Wednesday, May 6th, I'll be releasing the 10th song on Reflectere, "The Kentucky Waltz." More on that tune in a few days...
