Amp is working fairly hard, it's my Princeton reverb, depending on the track I'm using either a jt30 with mc151, through a LW Octave pedal, or a Shure CR through delay. Probably most of these are the crystal but wish you would may be the shure. Amp is miced to the recorder with a sm58 but there's a fair bit of bleed to the vocal mics

Bee I really like this. I also like the clips from your live show. I think you might should post them in here aswell.
I like your take on these songs. Some of them have a bit of a heavier feel with the rock/punk-ish sound like your video from the show. Have A Good Time recording has a very nice tempo change and overall feel. I hope to hear alot more from you guys.
Glad you got a nice group together.

Thanks mr Hertz. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. . I'm happy to be in a fairly solid little combo where I can just sing and play harp for what it's worth. Of course it's aimed at live and local work; we're all over 50. I've known the guitarist and bass player for a couple of years and we've played together sporadically through that time, they keep asking me to be involved so I hope that means what I'm doing is ok.
I'm deliberately trying to avoid too much flourish. I want the harp to play a definite part in the songs.
Shake your money maker is an exception, because I probably would have just laid out. For the demo I played very quietly, thinking it wouldn't bleed to the other mics and could just be left out of the final mix. But Paddy has seen fit to include what I did; whether that means he thought it was worth having or he was worried I might feel left out otherwise, I don't know. Interested in what others think of that part especially. Time gets a bit out of kilter in second chorus but I think I got it back ok.
Anyway, I find it hard to be objective about recordings, especially soon after.
I know I'm playing all over hoochie coochie man and I'm no little Walter but I thought I'd try it and see.
I'm singing 4 of these. So I don't play over vocals all the time.
