Limehouse Blues - performed by Mickey Stein

Composer: Douglas Furber and Philip Braham

Normally I make my own backing tracks when multi-tracking so I can take the blame for everything. This time I found a free site that had Gypsy-style jazz backing, so I got a copy of Limehouse Blues and just played along with it.

I started out meaning to record something else so was setup to use a Rode NT1 & Direct via cable and was going to record a solo. By that time I was just too lazy to move equipment around so the setup is somewhat wrong for this. I also forgot to grab a pick so did this fingerstyle. I, as always, have great intentions to re-record this crazy thing. I love the song and have a good memory of it as played on the album "Cannonaball and Coltrane".

Great, Hashi! Thank you for sharing your art. Ther's ppl who just play notes, but you make music, your music says things, it's clear you're speaking (singing) through your guitar. You're a lucky man :)

Thanks Vic,

I think I record this guitar 100% differently each time, and after the upload, it sounds different as well.

Appreciate it, H

Thanks B,

I didn't think I'd like the backing tracks but they were a lot of fun to play on.
