Connected to today's CoC, a friend that knew how to play showed me how to play this song on a shitty guitar that was lying around our house, and that's how I started playing. I'm hoping the boy starts from such simple origins (though I have much nicer guitars lying around the house).

Nate Mercereau – Start With You (Duet with the Golden Gate Bridge)
Nate Mercereau has played sessions with Jay-Z, but I think this one-ups his list of famous collaborators.
The sounds Bay Area residents have described as nuisance noise equivalent to sonic torture are produced by the a new set of railing slats installed on the Golden Gate to retrofit it to withstand sustained winds above 70 mph. The sounds struck Mercereau differently, as Nature itself playing “the largest wind instrument in the world.” Adding an interesting natural wrinkle to a musical controversy, the Golden Gate often sounds an A440 (Hz) concert pitch.
Armed with field recorders, Mercereau & a couple friends captured the sounds from the Marin Highlands, which make up the other half of his album Duets | Golden Gate Bridge. The song performed in this video is a track from Mercereau’s other 2021 album, Sundays.
In response to complaints, the Golden Gate Bridge District is developing engineering adjustments to silence the bridge.

If you've seen this before, you know what's up. If not, see it now, then you'll know what's up.

(I know this song should technically listed as "Fleetwood Mac", but the rest of those fops are backstage while ol' Lindsey's doing the work of 3 people)
