Another fine performance, gents. The refrain reminds me quite a bit of My Creole Belle!

Or Red Wing? Which in turn seemed to take something from Swedish gånglåts.

Pretty much, and the 'B' part is RW. (Which probably came from some drinking song. A little peppy for a gånglåt, but, sure, who knows where these things come from... "Hey ho, it's off to work we go..."

)

Lovely ensemble work here once again. The singers blend so well together and the backing on guitar and mandolin is strong but unobtrusive.

Oh yea, diptanshu, that was lovely, and in a pretty place as well. I love the sound of that Gibson.

May I ask where the mic or mics are placed? It seems like even when you turn your head, the response is even.

Thanks for the Friday treat!

Really nice. Well played, sung, recorded...and I agree with bbcee, you and that Gibson sound great together

**diptanshu** · Dec-06-2022, 1:08am

hey, had to do this as a cheat video. (I usually never do it) I mean I recorded the song in my hotel room at night with one zoom H6n that I carried for my trip, and monitored that sound and played and sung it once again for the video! I had also recorded a take on location but that was unusable! was drowned by ambient sound mostly bird calls and very loud insects!

I guessed that you were maybe doing a video using pre-recorded soundtrack, Diptanshu, and no problem at all with that. We have all used this technique at times to get a better sound for our listeners. Lovely blend of mando and voice here and a change from your usual band videos.

**bbcee** · Dec-06-2022, 8:30am

Ha, you think I would have figured that out, after 40 years of music videos! Regardless, it's a good tool, and you've used it well.

Great singing and playing on one of John Hartford's best songs.

**diptanshu** · Dec-09-2022, 1:12am

thank YOU! its my all time favourite... and I love singing it to myself!

Another fine offering, and like your last one, good use of the pre-recorded tracks and really fine synchronisation with the video. Sound balance of vocals and instruments is really good and I liked the panned opening and closing shots. A very professional creation. Diptanshu.

this one is recorded LIVE on the spot! with an additional vocal layer later added, only because it needed it.
