Petey, that is truly unreasonable of the neighbor to bang at 1pm in the afternoon. I wish I was there with you...we'd either play a loud duet, or we'd give him a fat lip (his choice).
Certainly, you could play any of the instruments on my list below. I do not own a koa tenor Martin for "Night...", that is true (although I do have a tenor 'hog Martin which is pretty sounding).
I hear you, my friend, about polar vortex and pushing any recording to summer's end/autumn. Just know that we are not
that far from one another, friend, and time recording in MI, plying the wares at Martin in Pennsylvania, etc., is something that we will do at one time. I stared into the bottom of my Mai Tai and read the ice cubes: They say Petey is a GO!
Indeed, Paris in the 20's is a damned fantastic song. It swings! It's so percussive, it's sick! Do record, do record.
Chin up, vortex and neighbors can suck hind tit, springtime is around the corner.
Hi Steve!
Long time no talk! hehe My new neighbor has no right to stop me from singing and playing before 10 pm any night. I know the city's bylaws, but I prefer to be respectful to my neighbors and not play/sing at night since he studies and works all day and is tired when he comes home. However, I didn't like how he banged on the wall on a Saturday at 1 pm when I hadn't played at night for two weeks. That's when I lose respect for someone, especially when I gave up so much for him. All of this stress has made me not practice and I've been sticking instead to the boudoir of the grape! Chardonnay nights! hihi
As for the folly of envisioning a spring time ukulele recording in Michigan while engulfed in this frigid "polar vortex" up here in Canada and elsewhere... I need to meditate on it for a bit. I've recently read a lot about the trouble of bringing expensive instruments across the US/Canada border. It's getting worse. Luckily, you already have a 3 cherry and I would use that for all of my recordings, but "Night Under the Stars" requires a Martin koa tenor or possible Hawaiian substitute. I would say this project should be more near the end of summer. We'll see. I'm not saying no. I love the idea! I would only agree to it with you being there!
Good grief... I haven't even made a video yet of "Paris in the 20s." Damn, that song is really great! I don't mind bragging about my own stuff at times! LOL hehe
cheerio!
Petey
