This is a really old recording of this song:

The singer was a (very young) daughter of Bernard Carney, who played with us for around a year ....

Thanks for all the replies smile

You guys worked well together. I like the sound.

Thanks - the sync box in my studio was acting up around this time, so I think the timing for the keyboards "drifts" through the song - I did fix it, but can't find it now ....

Wow  bird calls, a bass and an organ. You have a complete band.

We were a four piece - here's a video from the mid 90's of the same song - from the best hand-held technology of the era, complete with shaky hand and people walking in front smile

Thanks for an interesting topic!!

I can't remember when my Dad bought the stereo, which replaced our (family) reel to reel deck, but I do remember it had a record player - we had a modest record collection, a lot of classical selections, some Rick Wakeman, some Sky, the pan flutes of George Zamfir, amongst others - then Dad left and took all those with him, meanwhile my sister got a cassette recorder and started collecting more contemporary artists (ABBA, Hits of (insert year)) which I started listening to ... it wasn't until we moved house that I inherited the record player (and some of the records) and started my paper round that I started listening to other (Rock!) music. Then I discovered all these secret albums I'd never heard before (Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, etc) at some dingy place long ago.

My parents didn't play music at home much - my Dad has a couple of mandolins, but only knows one or two tunes (owns them more for their aesthetic value), Mum took up the Omnichord later in life, and was in a couple of choirs for her local church. I bought myself an electric guitar at 19 but didn't really take it up for another couple of years after that ... then met some people and started to play, and haven't really stopped since then ...

Welcome from another newbie (I'm not longer the new kid on the block!!) - whilst your diagnosis sucks, spare a thought for those people who go to work one day and never come back, who didn't have such luck ... 3 years is a long time to make some good memories, so make the most of it while you can, because some of us won't know when our time will be up; I've started recording videos for my kids because having them at such a late age, I'm not sure I'll be around to see grandkids ... wishing you all the best ...

What make/model is it??

It's a pretty simple mixer.  Only has one out, not one out per Channel.

If you have FX send/receive on your mixer, you can set one channel (vocal) to "send" on FX1, and the other channel (guitar) to "send" on FX2, then use that as your stereo mix into the computer (or whatever) as left and right tracks, which gives you a rudimentary 2 channel mix .... you'll probably still get some crosstalk, but from your previous posts it sounds like that won't be too much of an issue for you.

HTH!

I did like your Jim Croce rendition (same chords I use) and the second time through I played along.  I fingerpicked and it sounded like a good duet, right up to the part where you used an A where I transition through C#, F#m, A..... I think my timing slipped (stumbled).  Thinking I might use your rendition as a backing track and mix in mine (as a duet) and see what happens..... if you've no objection.  I'll send you a copy of the finished recording for your approval. It's been awhile since I have done any recording, so patience please.

No objection whatsoever - will be happy to hear it!!
