A rough recording session.
Monday, 14 April 2008 10:54But successful.
Two very good and dear and supportive friends of mine are getting married on the same weekend as the Spoutwood Fairie Fest. They wanted me to play at the wedding but this gig is really to big and too important to miss.
So we came to a compromise: I would lend them some sound equipment so that they could have music, and I would personally record the tune that they wanted as their "1st dance". That way I could play for them remotely. The tune is from the Pennsic(and now)3LF repertoire, a beautiful Italian Renaissance dance called "Rostiboli Gioioso".
( A hard won victory. Read if you like gory technical details )
The weirdest thing, is that this session took a physical toll as well.
My thighs ache from holding the dumbek, and somehow on Friday, I hurt my KNEE, playing recorder. THAT is fucking weird.
