big741.1 Member Registered: 12/02/08 Posts: 167 Loc: Edmonton,Canada	Top 'o the mornin', Synthzone! Monday is St. Patty's day, so last week I recorded a little ditty to mark the day. "Black Velvet Band" uses a style called Country Waltz1. I used the drum and the guitar parts, and then I added some accordion and my own bass line. This is my first recording in which I've done my own bass line on keyboard (I've done them before with my EWI). The harmonies were done with the 3000's VH, and the penny whistle is an actual penny whistle (my latest new toy, I bought a handful of them a couple weeks ago). Black Velvet Band Thanks for listening, and Happy St. Patrick's day! Dan _________________________ Is this thing on? Hello?

I have to share a story about a penny whistle ... MANY years ago, the sax player in our band, who took his sax playing craft VERY seriously - he had the closest sound to the great Paul Desmond that I ever heard - bought a penny whistle for the song "One Of Those Songs" by Jimmy Durante ... one night after he played that song, someone came up and said "Man, you did a great job with that penny whistle" ... the sax player smiled and thanked the guy ... as we were loading the van after the gig, he took the penny whistle out of his pocket and threw it as far as he could ... we looked in amazement and he said "I've worked for years getting my sax playing to where I it is, and I get complimented on a PENNY WHISTLE?!? ... I'll NEVER play it again!!! " ... and he never did ... But as I said, you did a great job ... _________________________ t.

On the bright side, at less than $10.00 penny whistles are affordable to throw out. I cringe at the thought of tossing a saxophone. They're kind of pricy! Thanks for listening, Dan Edit: Thanks to you too, Donny! Edited by big741.1 (03/15/14 08:58 AM) _________________________ Is this thing on? Hello?
