It was a stereo reel to reel. You record on one track, then bounce it to thenother while you record another track. You have to get the balance right at every recording. I wouldn't have the patience now.
I like these heavy on the rhyme kinds of songs. Delights my ear. The video seems very appropriate to me. Picks up the garden theme and there's something similar about the searching quality of the melody and the filming.
Hi Ken :-) Does Holly like playing in your garden? I would! :-) I love your garden, I don't like it when gardens are all neat and trim, and samey, yours is really lush and interesting, I bet the birds love it :-) I think Nature should be allowed to be free. :-) Whoops, rambling :-) I am just so very excited to hear another vintage Ken song! :-) I absolutely love your vocals on this! Well, I always do :-) Fantastic song, Ken! LOVE it! :-) I'm sorry, but I'll have to nick this one too! :-D XXXX
She does. It is full of wildlife. She loves animals. We have a field mouse that lives in the well steps and baby birds that hop around the garden. We even had a bat circling in our bedroom last week.
@KenMiddletonUkulele Aww! That made me smile :-D Bless her :-) Sounds like you have a piece of Heaven as a garden! :-) X A bat circling in your bedroom?! The cheek of it! :-D Keep putting your old stuff up :-) Bit random, I know, but my Mum says hi :-) X

I love these old recordings. How drastically have your influences changed in that time? I'd really like to hear what you'd put together now

And 30 years is along time. It may even be 35 years.
