BlueJean Blues cover

April 9th, 2010 + 9:04 PM  ·  Fiddlah

Hi to all musician friends ,
  I recently built a new system and also added heaps of equipment  to my studio.
This is the very first song recorded using all the new gear. To be honest
 I chose this ZZ Top cover thinking it would be an easy layed back tune
not only to play but to record as well. Wow was I wrong ! Keep in mind
 I have been familiar with studio recording for many years....
 The main lesson I learned was no matter how easy a song may be to play,
the recording of any song is meticulously challenging. I want to give a special Thank You
to a friend of mine "Scott Winters" for laying down the drum track! He uses
a Roland drum set and is an excellent drummer in my opinion. *Anyways, I hope you enjoy
this tune and I'm sure some of you will recall this awesome ZZ tune from years ago.
 As always. any comments and or critiques are welcomed.
ps: You have certainly done an awesome job with site as well as the release of the album!   Was a very pleasant surprise !!!!

Two olde standards

January 26th, 2010 + 6:01 PM  ·  Fiddlah

Hiya all,
 I've been asked  a few times  by some friends to break out the acoustic and play
some of my songs from my old repertoire. From the days when I used to play side gigs
by myself  in hundreds of small clubs all throughout the White Mountains of NH. Those were the days.... it actually paid  for my college and I was having fun at the same time! Anyways, yesterday I recorded these two old standards. One from The Doors into one from The Eagles. I video taped the performance as well, so everything was done as one take. No overdubbing etc. I had to do a pre-mix to get the guitar and my voice both on a decent level. Well I hope you remember these and hopefully enjoy the songs. As always,,, any comments, critiques and or ratings are always welcomed.
~ Peace all ~
