bayoubengal1954 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Here is the submission of Crossing Canal for the NPR Tiny Desk Competition. Thanks so much to my "Comrade In Six Strings" Ruby Ross for spearheading this. Also, this is her original song. As you can see the desk is quite tiny. We don't have any fancy equipment so it was just recorded on a phone in the kitchen of a 100 year old New Orleans Shotgun style home with 15 foot ceilings, so the sound gets a bit boomy. Supposedly the judges are looking at more of the quality of the song and performance as opposed to the quality of the production. We know we won't win but it was fun doing it. Also one take was messed up by a cat so it is about as down home a project as you'll find. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twd_mE9Kj7c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I really enjoyed this, bayou. It is a really breezy and catchy tune, and you two harmonize great together. Great listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Neil Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Great. :-) Very much in the Tiny Desk style (complete with actual tiny desk no less...) with relaxed playing and harmony singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayoubengal1954 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks for the kind words, Folks! It may have been funny to have saved the take ruined by the cat, but we let slip a couple of choice words and thought it may be a good idea to delete it.

duluthdan Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Good song ! Good luck in the contest - a friend of mine won it last year, and it has changed her life. All very good. [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
