Title: And Now For Something Completely Different! Post by: folderol on August 18, 2007, 08:22:05 PM This is a tune that I really need to update. I recorded it quite a few years ago, but when going though my stuff recently, immediately thought that offthewall/james might find it interesting.
It was inspired by a family I used to know that were all heavily into folk music and dancing. Mum & dad sang, and played various instruments - guitar, keyboard etc. but the daughter was amazing, she could play just about any wind instrument, and is the only person I've ever heard who could really 'bend' notes on a tin whistle.

Very nice lead lines and harmonies. I really enjoyed the break in the middle of the song. This song is VERY entertaining - MarioD Title: Re: And Now For Something Completely Different! Post by: offthewall on August 18, 2007, 09:45:35 PM ::)
You're right, Will. This is yet another one that I shall put away, for that rainy day, when I can find time to play many, many instruments over it! ;) You are truly keeping this old man entertained! 8) James Title: Re: And Now For Something Completely Different!

-> MarioD The reason I thought of making changes was that I thought the main lead sounded too hard and brittle. I was thinking of substituting an instrument a bit smoother. I discounted the idea of adding a bass line as soon as the idea occurred to me, as with the other instruments, and the folksy nature of the tune it just would not fit! ->offthewall I hope I'm not giving you too much work ;D It would be nice to hear this with real instruments. ->ForthMansions I sweated for many hours over that guitar part. I'm glad it was worth it! Title: Re: And Now For Something Completely Different! Post by: Martin E on August 20, 2007, 07:48:58 PM Something different alright. Really sounds like background music of a Monthy Python cartoon.
