recorded with a small magnatone amp
the volume is set so low you can not hear it "while being recorded"
the crystal mic is old and worn out
i used a condenser "go" mic draped over the front of the amp
i have itunes playing thru cheap alesis monitor speakers
the go mic is draped over the amp, but pointed in the opposite direction
this is a personal favorite, butterfield tune..
i like it cause their is no harmonica on the original

Go a little less edgy on the harp. The call and response w/ the vocal is very butterfield.

I used to play this song to. You got the Butterfield feel. I would play a few less notes at the end of the phrase to hold a note with vibrato.

My Alesis M1Acive monitor were 300 buck for the pair 5 years ago.

ok that was a pathetic attempt as a recording engineer
i was trying to use what i have available.
recording the backing track and an amped harp
with one mic, is not the way to go lol.
let's see if i can figure out audacity, i'll drop the tracks in there
and over dub the harp.
the speakers are alesis elavate 3 i bought them at dealer cost
$50.00 they do not compare to the alesis M1 not at all
thanks for listening, let's see if i can clean that up a bit
may take a week or two
