  • Excellent B!

  • Excellent guitar and vocals. The French were worked up over their new taxes! ;-)

  • Danny try a sydel big six and get a magnetic mic stand mount 

  • awesome Bug,, love the harp in there, I am still working on that aspect I think a harp adds a lot of color to a blues song

  • "One of your best Buggy"  :-)

  • Andries the phone sits hovering above about 300mm the mic stand to pic up the whole sound

    It's closest to the harp. Hence why it's loudest trying to find

    the best position is tricky. Oddly the amp on this one is pointing at the ceiling and is a homemade

    cbg amp, it's way right of drums too.

    any good tips on one phone to record all the sounds.

    as too far away and you loose the voice . Far left nearest my voice and harp seems bar so far.

    Appreciate the feedback to help me adjust things.

    Thanks for all the comments guys. Check out thousand road blues on YouTube a blues compilation

    of some good old stuff .

  • Great pic on the footware ,a thousand words!single material ! harp a tiny bit to loud ,in my head phones,superbe Great rezzo (the Rock Hill) UJ Sayed the word !!
