THIS IS IT . . . ( The Original Michael Jackson Tribute Performance ) . . . by STUART FRETWELL stufish4040 - 410 views - 1 week ago
This brand-new, original, song is dedicated to Michael .
#17 top rated ( today/au)
I was watching the Michael Jackson 'This Is It' rehearsal footage with my teenage daughter, after we'd watched the Jackson family's memorial concert. We were both sad that we would never get to see what looked like a great show.

Watching a clearly enthusiatic Michael jackson strutting his stuff at rehearsals, it dawned on me that here was a man, not much younger than myself, who was dreaming of a comeback which was never to be. How very sad it is.

I suddenly felt quite ashamed of myself for taking on-board the negative press coverage. Truly, we are all brothers and sisters on this crazy planet of ours, hurtling through Space, and as-such we are all diminshed by any man's passing.

As Jackson breathed his last, all the press' bally-hoo' counted for nothing. Here was a son, a father, a brother . . about to meet his maker . .and he deserved our respect in that moment. I felt that I, for one, had fallen short of this obligation.

Taking the name of his proposed concert residency, THIS IS IT, I immediately had a melody in my head to fit, and it was then just case of moving the capo to suit. I didn't write anything down . .I just sang what came to me. Sadly, I managed to erase the first recording ( it was late) and I'm glad I recorded this second version, or I might well have forgotten the melody altogether. I also had to rescue the clips . .twice! . .after iMovie crashed on me.

I offer it - for what it's worth - to Jackson fans and to anyone who has ever been bereaved. I tried really hard with this one and I hope I've managed to do it justice.

Techie stuff : This is a LIVE recording - no overdubs. I used my trusty 1970's Yamaha fg150, fiited with light-gauge Martin strings. It was mic'd with a Samson CU01 codenser, and the vocal with a cheapo Chinese-built dynamic mic. They were both input via a Tapco link usb analogue/digital interface, with Mackie pre-amps, into my iMac g4 using Garageband. 'Hall' echo was added in 'post' .
