Subject: [Harp-L] The first song to usher in the New Year, every year



Finally got around to listening to this, Richard (dealing with a very ill  
dog--she takes priority right now).
 
 
I sorely needed some cheering up and this was very nice, indeed. I'm going  
to work on my own chromatic version based on what you did here --adding in 
my  own keyboards and see what I can come up with by next year. 
 
 
I have a Zoom recorder I've only used once (still have a JR&Ne Blood  show 
from a Habitat Show on it--shows how long ago it was since I last used it!)  
and definitely do need to begin to seriously figure out how to record some 
of my  own playing. I'd love to learn how to 'loop', having become enamoured 
of Slim's  way of doing it with his guitar..using my keyboard.
 
 
So far something always seems to have gotten in the way but I'm hoping 2013 
 will be 'the' year to come out of my shell musically.
 
Thanks for this. Appreciated.
 
Elizabeth

My  recording of "Auld Lang Syne" can be found  here:

Scroll  down the page until you see the title, then click on the title to 
start  streaming the music. 

I played chromatic harmonica (of which there are  two parts), strumstick 
(for the "lead guitar" fills and solo), and keyboards  (including bass) on 
this recording. My brother Mark Hunter played electric  rhythm guitar. The drum 
track is composed of samples from a New Orleans sample  compilation. I 
forget how I recorded the harp (let alone everything else), but I  think I did 
this piece before I got a Fireball mic, so it was probably done on  an 
Audio-Technica AT4050 CM5 mic into a Roland MMP-1 mic modeling preamp routed  
straight to the computer. I like recording with the Fireball better; I can  
hand-hold the Fireball to eliminate room acoustics completely, and my room has  
always been the weakest link in the chain for live recording in my home 
studio.  

But I digress. Happy New Year! Enjoy.

Regards, Richard  Hunter
