The line that does the work is the one before the ode: pies here are savoury, with a flaky unsweetened crust and meat in gravy, not the sweet ones a US reader expects. After that, "flaky roofs hide treasures vast" is a bit grand for minced beef, and that gap is what makes the verse funny instead of just pretty. The bakery gathering fits a shop counter better than a stage.

Re: Mixer w/ USB recording (5 replies, posted in Recording)
For a three-piece acoustic gig I would separate the two jobs. A small mixer that can print a stereo mix to a thumb drive is enough if you only need a document of the night. If you want to fix a vocal later, record the channels into a computer over USB instead, and keep the live mix simple: two instruments and a vocal. 24-bit matters more in a loud room than in a quiet practice, because you are leaving headroom for the sudden peaks. I have not used a thumb-drive recorder enough to name a model.

Re: Adding drum tracks (2 replies, posted in Recording)
I have not used GarageBand much, so take this as a workaround rather than a power-user tip. The latency you hit when you try to play drums on top of tracks you are already hearing is the usual reason those takes drift. Put a simple drum loop or click down first and treat that as the clock, then record the guitar and vocal against it. Add the intro hit and the fills after the groove is in place, instead of trying to perform them live while you are monitoring. On the phone, the built-in loops are enough to sketch that before you worry about a real kit.
