Re: post a video of yourself
Thanks everyone! Very gratifying response from the mandolin sanctum sanctorum!I always enjoy your music Daniel and this performance is great...
I've got a new CD in the can. Working on the artwork and registrations before sending it to the duplicator. Should be out early next year. Hard Times is on it.
The event in Cambridge was well attended, video taped (though more modern storage was used, the verb still applies), and we'll be doing it again in the new year. I'll post anything worth watching!
in gratitude,
Daniel

Your group sounds great Nick. You and your mandolin sound mighty fine.
And that spot in the library looks perfect for an acoustic performance.
Re: post a video of yourself
Thanks for the kind words Clark!
This was a test case on several fronts: playing the room without a PA, this video done on an iPhone.
I've got footage coming that was shot on an HD camcorder with much better sound capture than the phone; it will be interesting to hear what that sounds like.
Our fiddler, John-Michael Brooks, makes us all look good!

Hello all. Here's a song I just recorded in Melbourne AU, where I'm currently touring with the Cirque du Soleil show "Kooza." This is a little not to the happenings back home in the US. Enjoy.

Hey Nick, that clip in library sounds mighty fine!

Hey Don!
Thanks for the kind words Brotha! That room worked pretty well without a PA and as noted before we've got one of the best fiddlers in California, John-Michael Brooks!

Better version of a song that I posted from an earlier show that I deleted...from our gig 3 weeks ago featuring our hot shot fiddler: John-Michael Brooks.

Hey Drew!
You guys did a nice job man!
Looked like a fun gig as well!
What mike do you use for your condenser? It really seems to pick up well!
Again, nicely done!

Re: post a video of yourself
Wow Drew...That was fantastic and looks like a fun place to play! Lots of great breaks in there, mandolin, banjo and the flat-picker is no slouch either. Really liked his break in White Freightliner near the end.
Was that your Skip Kelly Vintage? You and it sound great. And as Nick indicated, the condenser mic really picks up nicely with very few feedback issues. Of course it helps that you've all got the 'in and out shuffle' down pat.
One other observation. I'll bet they do a pretty brisk business selling Geritol in Fletcher.
Re: post a video of yourself
Hey Nick,
Let me tell you how that San Antonio Rose could have been improved...
...ummm, nope. I got nothin'
Re: post a video of yourself
Thank you guys for the compliments!
We are using the cheap old MXL 990 mic. I had it laying around for years not being used and when we started this little band adventure last April I figured it was worth trying out. We usually use a Bose L1 compact but in this venue they had everything and we just plugged in. With the Bose we do get some feedback if we crank it up past about halfway on the volume indoors, but that's usually been enough. We try to set it out in front of the mic and off at an angle. The Bose sounds great as well.
That was the Skip Kelley. It just turned one year old on Jan 30th! I love it other than the fret wear I've put on it is starting to create some intonation problems. If I get off my butt and get it over to Skip it'll be good as new again I'm sure. Luckily he's not too far down the road.
At one time Henderson County had the highest average age population in the state of NC, but I tell you what, they danced as fast as we could play all night long to every song!
Thanks again!

Re: post a video of yourself
If I may humbly suggest, do your re-fret with the Jescar EVO 0.080 fretwire...lasts forever especially if you're like me and you are hard on frets...

Re: post a video of yourself
Nick, that is definitely the plan ultimately, but this time I may get by with just a filing down. I'll see what Skip thinks when he gets a hold of it. When I need replacements I will go that route for sure! Thanks!
