[Harp-L] VA Harmonicafest performances on hunterharp.com

[Richard Hunter <turtlehill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I video- and audio-recorded my performance at the Virginia Harmonicafest last week.  I've posted three quick extracts from the recording to Youtube. You can find the links under "What's New" at my website at http://hunterharp.com.  

The first piece is my solo arrangement of "Billy the Kid," of which I've posted one video and one audio recording previously. I played this piece in second position on a Ben Bouman customized Seydel 1847 harmonica in Country tuning, key of C. The Fireball V mic was processed through a Digitech RP255 with a slapback delay and a medium hall reverb.

The second piece is Dylan's "It Takes a Lot to laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry."  I used an RP355 on this piece, with the RP running one of my stock patches, called FBARO2 (bassman amp model with rotating speaker effect, delay, and reverb).  I put this into stombox mode so I could turn the rotating speaker effect on and off with one footpress.  It's a big sound with the FX on or off.

The third piece is my solo composition "Widow's Walk", which I play through an RP255 set up with a long digital delay and a long plate reverb to make lots of space.

I'm putting up my take on Michael Nesmith's "Cruisin' (Sunset Sam) later; that one had a lot of heavy wah wah action.  Stay tuned.

Regards, Richard Hunter
