No need to apologize David - that was nice! More, more.

 

[West R Lee]

Very nice Windy City Wino, I like it.

West

 

[Graham]

Excellent!

 

[chicagowineguy]

Thanks, guys! I'm really working on building up a setlist so I can play out more--I appreciate the encouragement...god knows I need all the help I can get!

 

[zplay]

ChiWi, you're easy to listen to. Very, very nice vocals and your picking moves everything along. Keep it up.
What guitar were you using by the way?

 

[chicagowineguy]

Z I was playing the GAD50. Thanks for the kind words!

 

[GuildFS4612CE]

Chi Guy, you're a lot better than you think you are.

And you've got a great voice.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[West R Lee]

Z I was playing the GAD50. Thanks for the kind words!

Kind of shot that GAD's not sounding good theory to smitherines. Sounds great on the recording.

[chicagowineguy]

West--just a straight recording into the M-Audio 24/96 stereo T mic. Yep the GAD50 sounds good...a hell of a lot better than that voice!

 

[West R Lee]

Nah, your voice sounds great. I've been playing with a Zoom H4 that Mrs. West got me for my birthday. I've had a blast with the thing. Good job you did there all around. I'd come sit in your coffee bar! :wink: Mine is posted over in "LTGer's"............."Piddlin' With The H4".....hold your ears if you go there though! :shock:

Nevermind, I'll bring it here for ya. Gotta work on the settings a bit.

[chicagowineguy]

West that is an absolutely beautiful song! And your voice...simple and pure, my friend, reminds me of Willie...and that is a compliment! Got to say, though, that the sound on the guitar is kind of muddy...what's up with that? You gonna play around with the recording settings?

 

[West R Lee]

Thank you sir. Yep, gotta bunch of tweaking to do. That's through a little Roland acoustic amp and into the Zoom. I had a bit too much effects (reverb) on that one and maybe had the gain on the recorder set too high and a bit too much bass. That rosewwod guitar puts out tons of bass. Anyway, I'm still playing with the recorder, but having a good time doing it.

Oh, and the songs not mine. It's an old Marshall Tucker Band song from the 70's.

I appreciate you Chicago,
West

 

[Guildmark]

You both sound downright fine! I hope you find some local gigs/open mics/concerts/busking venues/recording contracts - or whatever you would like, right to your heart's content! Keep it up!

 

[JerryR]

Waddyamean - trying - sounds great

Didn't get to listen all the way through and my aol link suddenly died - but don't think your song was responsible :mrgreen:

 

[West R Lee]

Thanks Mark....thanks Jer, but I think I've already thanked you guys.

West

 

[chicagowineguy]

+1 on all the kind words!

 

[Steelpickin']

Wow, you two would make a great Duo!
Very nice stuff from the both of you!
I would like to hear more !!!

 

[West R Lee]

Gawlee,

Coming from you Larry....well, that's kinds like hearing that from Eric Clapton or someone like that.

Thank you sir,
West
