Recording

We recorded a couple of jigs last weekend.

Shooting Star/ Old Favorite

For a different feel this time, we weren't trying to rock out, but do something sweet sounding. The first of the two jigs is by Jonathan, the second is by this "trad" guy who lives in Ireland. I hadn't realized it before, but this does come off sounding appropriate to the winter holiday season. Perhaps we'll use it on the Apple Crisp Christmas Album ("Apple Crisp: Home for the Holidays" ?). You listen to it while sipping eggnog & trimming your tree.

Recording is still new for us & hard work. It usually takes a full day to get one recording done, and it's far from perfect. We don't do overdubs, so all one hears in our recordings is from one continuous take. That practice may not persist, I'm learning about editing now, so we can go in to fix mistakes.

I also added an older recording to the recordings page, "Katy's Rambles/ Lady of the Lake". It should have been there with the others, I don't know why it got missed before.
