In Preparation For My Mini-Gig... [View all]

Last edited Thu Aug 18, 2022, 04:37 PM - Edit history (1)

...on the 27th, I set up my recording system with 1 mic, and used line out to a cassette recorder, just as a reality check.
(I've got an old Walkman that still works & an aux in on my car stereo.)
Glad I did it.
I'm happy with my singing & guitar work but I was playing 3 of the songs way too fast.
I slowed them down & found it was easier to phrase & stylized.
I still don't care that much about the appearance (just a 40 minute opening set & I've headlined >2,000 gigs)but if I'm going to do it, I want it to he right.
The songs I've chosen really work on a 12 string.
