OK- I'm up for that.

Here's an open mic recording of Jeff Beck's Rollin' and tumblin'.
Superb bit of blues. I recorded it with a Panasonic capsule araldited
to a phono plug:

And here's the music:

In the background you might just catch a pair of Adidas trainers
revolving happily in my washing machine.

enjoy......



I did, thank you, but I'm not looking to swap bass with you....


I chose that one deliberately because it is recorded with an
unbelievably flabby, loose-skinned drum. It is a real trial for a
subwoofer.

As you liked the other one so much, try this from the same album/same
recording:

- don't forget I was looking to demonstrate a 'non-flabby' bassline on SET
amplification....

(There's nothing but triodes in my recordings!! ;-)




Yup. Not flabby.

Regarding those Happy Wanderers
At the end of the '60s in the Julie Christie/Dirk Bogarde film ?"Darling",
there is a
London scene featuring this strolling trio. Very droll: banjo, dual rhythm
spoons,
washboard, finger cymbals, kazoo or a saxaphone, etc. No real talent, but
just
some needy blokes (you'd think).
Talk about *deja vu* - the Exit doors of the small West End cinema opened, I
with the downstairs audience walked out into the street, and guess what we
encountered at 9pm?.... the same
tlink-tlunk, clickety-click Happy Wanderers busking a traditional tune on
the pavement alongside us in the drizzle for a few hand-outs!
(I think they wore peak caps and dark blazers + strads.) It made me
double-take because of their blatancy.
There, the incident did impress me.

Well, I hope you dropped a quid in his hat, because there is
absolutely no way to tell from that recording.

A producer I knew of in London used to always stop to
listen to buskers. He said that he had found some good artists
that way. (Remember the Happy Wanderers who used to trudge
up and down Oxford Street in the 60's. They made a great
deal of money at weddings and garden parties)

The producer never walked away mid performance, but when
the busker had finished, he would push something into their top
pocket, and say "have a drink on me"

It was not until the performer checked later that he found
a tea.bag.

There used to be eight or nine of them. To meet the local bye-laws they
were obliged to keep moving so shuffled along at a slow pace. Then, later
I am told they broke into two separate groups, probably to double the
revenue.
