What a beautiful scene! That dear young man will remember playing music with you for always. I'm constantly amazed how well they recall events like that. Good for you,

Joe.

What kind of camcorder are you using? Are you using a stereo mike with it, love the bass in the organ.

[southerncrescent1401]

The camera is a SONY DCR-DVD810. I am not using a stereo mike. I was suprised to hear the mandolin as Gary did not have it hooked to a amp and also he had a string missing. The Nord C1 does have a good bass. I prefer the Nord C1 bass over the Hammond bass.

Thanks for the comment. Gary does play other instruments. Hopefully he will accompany me on other songs. He is planning on putting some video clips with mandolin and banjo on his channel which is mandopickerer. We have been practicing on some songs.

We want more of you and your accompanist, does he play more than the mandolin? Sounds great!

Thanks. When that video was taken(about 6 months ago) I didn't hardly practice and I really didn't have a desire to. Since then, I have started practicing at least 15 minutes a day, and I have been working on a few other instruments too. It's amazing how watching one 15 year old mandolin player can inspire you to actually work at playing better. Although I'm still not good, I have improved a little bit since then.

Sounds great

Thanks

Thanks for the compliment. It is not going through a leslie cabinet. Just a Community loud speaker with a 15" speaker. The drawbar setting is 8 on the Sub, Fund, 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 0 on the rest. Then I switch to the following: Sub, Sub3, Fund, 2nd, and 8th are set to 8 and the rest are 0. The lower is set at 4 on the Fund, 2nd, and 8th, and 0 on the rest. A Roland 3080 sound module is on the lower manual using Soap Opra on the first part, JP-8 Str 1 on the second part.
