Absentee Post from: garthmanTitle: My Dearest DearCredits: Traditional Click to Listen http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=garthman/My_Dearest_Dear.mp3 garthman Comments: When I first learned this song - many years ago - I read a nice little story (some of which may or may not be true) concerning it's history. Many of the traditional songs we enjoy today were collected during the early part of the 20th century by Cecil James Sharp (who in 1911 formed the English Folk Dance and Song Society which is still going strong today). The story went that when he was collecting songs in the north of England the singer said she vaguely remembered her mother singing a song called 'My Dearest Dear' but she could not recall the words or tune so Sharp registered it as 'lost' (this is the part that may not be true). A few years later Sharp and his collaborator Muad Karpeles visited the Appalachian mountains and there they discovered the song still being sung by the ancestors of people who had emigrated from England (this part is true). From the language and style of the lyrics I would estimate the song dates from the mid 18th century. I have taken the liberty of modernizing the song a little by (mostly) converting the 2nd person singular (thou, thine) to the 2nd person plural (you, your, etc.) Recorded in one take with Audacity via my computer microphone.

A Taylor 214 with 2 condensor mics seprated for the main track then added parts of a A scale that I stuck over that trying to learn how to do that.

Every word of this song is true! The Best of My Life -- Christian Carnucci Verse 1: A Sunday morning rendezvous, was the first time I lain eye's on you, and the last time that my heart was mine. Verse 2: Through a windshield I first saw you smile, when you picked me up from that airplane ride, and the last thing that was on my mind... Verse 3: Was the first date that I had with you, was the last first date I would ever do, and the first day of the best of my life. Chorus: The best of my life begins and ends with you. It started the day you let me in. The best of my life put an end to feeling blue, and started a lifetime of me loving you. Verse 4: Now it's been six years since you said I do, and my oh my how time has flew, and every day brings something new. Verse 5: Well it started with just a little note, a silly little thing that I once wrote. A lame attempt to change your mind. Verse 6: And somehow it got through to you, and heaven above only knew, that so began the best of my life.

Members hypcollector Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Good evening. Sugarcane: American People. Collaboration with Bart Branstetter. The song is a millenia-long journey of a bloodline...from the Great Heathen army to cracks-in-the-dirt Texas. American People is the long ago name of a previous collaboration with Bart and a couple of others. Pre-Hypnotist Collectors. Hope all the VOM people are good..... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=908060&songID=9247674 Sugarcane: American Peoplelost blood almost every week left our general dead in the creek took an arrow in the eye saw Jesus before he died he was gone, gone, gone yeah, he was gone, gone, gone working sails on an irish boat regardless he was always broke jumped off in montreal heard the great plains call he was gone, gone, gone yeah, he was gone, he was gone indians tracked his tracks the dirt was soft and black paid 'em off with sugarcane went to texas on a cattle train he was gone, gone, gone yeah, he was gone, gone, gone planted cotten, wheat, and corn lived his life near where he was born always broke a smile knew he only had a while he was gone, gone, gone he was gone, he was gone a7 d7 a7 d7 g d7 a7 g d7 a7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gitnoob Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 It was suggested that I should try this VOM thing even though I am a noob. So here I am. I tried to record a few pieces tonight. None of them turned out great. This was one of the worst -- I present it here unedited. My attempt at Dave Van Ronk's Green Rocky Road in dropped-D on a Larrivee Parlor. I kept screwing it up, so I started singing quietly to get my timing back. I ended the song in a blaze of glory by singing the alphabet song. Enjoy! http://www.box.net/shared/z5xnj53nby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Glenn F Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Lol... Ok, here is my submission; Be Bop A Lula by Gene Vincent. I remember that I had come home from my last final exam one year, sometime around 1992, I think, full of nervous energy. I got the urge to record something, so I wrote up a basic 4 bar loop on my drum machine, and did this in about an hour. Recorded on a Tascam Portastudio 424; my old Norman B30, bass guitar, drum machine and double-tracked vocals. Recorded through a Radio Shack microphone. I came across this the other day, and transferred it to digital, added some reverb (probably too much, lol), and that's it. I never got around to the second lead guitar, unfortunately. Not sure if I have all the words right (no interwebs then) and it is at the edge of my vocal range. This was inspired by McCartney's version on his 'Unplugged' album. It's fun, has good energy. Hope you enjoy! Cheers, Glenn http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=Glenn_F/Be_Bop_A_Lula.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members extollo Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 New drop-D piece written this week - in pretty solid draft. Fingering is quite unusual in spots (at least for me), so still not quite under the fingers. Have a tab (pdf/gp6) if anyone wants to give it go. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9269841 As for the recorded tone.. i used my j-45 w/ matrix infinity into pod x3 & picked a default 'acoustic' preset which in hindsight had too much chorus. in reaper I recorded both the wet & dry track. on the dry track i used podfarm to mix in another signal with compression/eq/delay (no chorus) - this track is the strongest in the mix. edit: a vid of the tune made after VOM ...[YOUTUBE]0OGkwp9oLOg[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members riffmeister Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Another Tommy Emmanuel piece in this VOM's lineup: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=901761&songID=9241819 "Stay Close to Me" It's an interpretation, not a copy, of the original. And includes a couple of flubs at the end which I covered up pretty well. Played on a Brian Cohen classical guitar, the design of which is inspired by Julian Bream's 1940 Hauser.

Members bludog79 Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi guys - Looking forward to listening to some great music later today. Here is my submission. A blues tune that I wrote a while back. Gave it a kind of jazz treatment. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9254886 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FussenKuh Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Looks like the VOM is already off to a quality start! Here's my little contribution: Title: Pork and Beans Originally By: Weezer [YOUTUBE]7N_GBjVRxB8[/YOUTUBE] This song is first single off of Weezer's 2008 "Red Album." Like many a Weezer song, the basics are simple and straight forward... which is why I think I enjoy figuring out their tunes. Anyways, I briefly attempted to try singing along with this tune. After quickly realizing that it was going to never sound decent, I opted to record an instrumental "vocal" track instead. The video actually has three 1-take tracks in it: The main rhythm and two "vocal" tracks to give the "singing" a bit more depth... You'll probably hear a few flubs if you listen closely I hope someone enjoys it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phoniclab Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Song: South City Midnight LadyArtist: Doobie Brothers Ok, here's my submission to the VOM this month. I want to thank maplebbay who regularily posts in the lesson loft forum. He had posted a youtube video lesson of how to play this song that I found. I've always wanted to learn this song and thanks to maplebbay, now I have. It's a little rough, but I was anxious to record it and submit it to the VOM. http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=phoniclab/South_City_Midnight_Lady.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TSMusic Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Greetings Another month and another VOM. My submission this month is a song from my first CD 'Forgotten Walls' titled Angels Rise. This is one of my favorite songs to play and always get's a good response. True to the spirit of VOM this was a one shot take, well after a couple of false starts, brain farts and lots of cussing. Enjoy Tony [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike_E_McGee Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Looks like I've got my software issues pretty much routed out. This is Mississippi John Hurt's Corina Corina. Audio captured on a Zoom H4 (built in mics). Ran the audio through Sonar 7 to bring the level up a little, mated it to the video using quicktime pro. I kept getting pops in the audio when flown into QT, but somehow it smoothed itself out in the exported file (could have saved hours right there...)

Members bludog79 Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Melodius - Love this piece. SOunds really crisp and articulate. Oldskool_Texas - Love this one. I always look forward to your recordings. Especially like the back up vocals. Great guitar solo as well. tbryson - Good tune, kind of a stone and eagles vibe going on there... "Angie checks into the Hotel California..." chriscarnucci - Hi Chris, love this tune man. One of my favorites this time around. I have one kind of like that about meeting my wife when I had nothing. Great vocals on this one too. Stackabones - Love it. You are the king of the Uke. Sounds like a tune that has been around for generations. You can write a hook as good as anyone. I still catch my catch myself singing about my toaster being too short because of you. Hypcollector - Love the keyboards on this one. Great lyrics, on this one. Extollo - Great tune, lov e the alternating bass, classic ragtime also reminds me of some of the French Tangos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, incase any one was wondering, my wife did approve the video before I posted it on Youtube. Even the last picture. So far this was a great VOM with so much talent showing through! Everyone really did an outstanding job! So here are my comments, hope I didn't miss anyone. And I'll catch the latter entries....well...later .
