Nice interlude piece Dman! No lyrics, so your singer got to drink throughout the whole number. Very thoughtful of you two to provide her with a chance to rest the vocal-cords. Standard J-45 with a UST? Sounds good.

 

Thanks duluthdan. Yes it's a standard with the element running through a Fishman Aura spectrum DI.

Here's one I wrote a couple of months ago, going live at my regular open mic. There were lots of people in the bar, but they seemed to quiet down and listen- and you know how rare and fun that is!

Anyway...

Anne, love your songs and playing style - well suited to a listen with a fine cup of Mocha. Thanks.

Here is a song from my album, Gris Gris In Your Face called "Now I Can't Even Say Hello". I didn't own a Gibson when I recorded this, so I'm playing my Martin D-28. I have a 2007 Southern Jumbo TV arriving next week, and I am looking forward to giving that baby a good work out! The low end flourishes are done by a great guitarist named Dwight Breland. Thanks for listening.

 

Track 1 GGIYF

Anne, excellent song and presentation! I can certainly see why the bar crowd sat forward and listened up. Well done!

Hey, LPDEN- thanks so much for listening and for the kind comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it- heaven knows, it's all kinds of fun for me! 😉

Here is a tune that tennroots and I came up with, titled "Opa's Dream" in honor of my late father

 

Opa's Dream

 

Nice little jam there. I like the voicing you have chosen, sort of the opposite of what you usually expect with guitar and mandolin, with the mandolin doing the chords this time and guitar leads.

Saturday night on a 185. Come on, sing along.

Edit:

 

Actually I had been planning to record a more complete treatment of this tune, with some different elements. Saturday night, slightly inebriated, I decided the time had come to record so I dragged out the tripod and the video camera and got that set up and then proceeded to do some checks for distance of the camera - it's a very simple unit and a lot depends on how close the mic is to the sound. After I made two or three checks I kicked back for a minute to refresh the spirit and somehow or other by the time I thought about resuming recording the inspiration was gone. So what I had was the sound checks, one above. Here's another one, which may be a bit more representative of the 185's sound. Mojo-jojo or somebody was asking about it.

Nice guitar arrangement and execution, Jerry!

Jerry - I agree - that 185 sounds great! Simple setup? What camera/mic combination did you use? I have a Zoom HQ thing that I cannot (or don't exercise the patience to) get the sound right. I mostly just record to share with my mother across the miles, and to check delivery of lyrics on my original stuff. Whatever you used, if was simple, sounds really good here.

Thanks Bayou Bengal and Dan.

 

I used a Kodak Zi8 standalone. Just a tiny camera the size of an iphone. It is ok and yet I feel it doesn't reveal much sense of depth, a stereo sense of the room. (The room is not terribly good either, might be able use a small room...) I sometimes feed the output from a Sony PCM M-10 into it, which is better, but still somehow lacking. I think I am going set up a couple mic stands with some condenser mics I have and feed into either a Zoom or a Tascam I have and I suppose route the audio to the Kodak Zi8 again or perhaps sync up audio and video later.
