I've been asked my several folk about some of my music.
Well, I've done it for all to see

I hope you enjoy my first attempt at digital recording.
I had some fun today, didn't I

LOOKS GRRRRREAT!!!! BUT....you're not wearing a kilt or skirt...how can you stand PANTS?

[Uncle Al]

Because this was a WORK day on the beast. I don't like
climbing around the pipe chambers in anything But Pants.
Too many things to catch a hemline on and hard to move
around on your knees under the pipe chests.

The video was shot AFTER the work was completed.

I found that I used the English Post Horn to much. You
couldn't hear the other percussion's, tuned and un-tuned.

Tuned percussion's = Glockenspiel, Harp(Marimba) & Xylophone.
Un-tuned percussion's = Bass drum, snare drum, tap cymbal,etc.

Awesome job, Al. It was fun seeing you "in action" at the keyboard.

The only piece of advice I'd offer would be to get a real microphone.

[Uncle Al]

Granted, the audio is not that good. I can't add any
mic's. The camera is a Canon, Power Shot A2000IS.
It does alright for what we want it to do. Primarily
still photos. This was the first time I tried the 'movie'
function. I do have a VHS CamCorder, but I don't have
the 'stuff' to transfer the 'tape' to Digital. That mic is
much better and will p/up the lower frequencies with
better results. We did find that the pedal board on the
console needs to be tightened up due the 'clacking'
sound on the video. Some of the pedals have to much
'bounce' in them. They should stay in the 'open' position
when released.
