Roger Friedman (aka Lot2learn) very generously wrote a song for us that he played on his recent trio CD and on his youtube posting ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7PPBLh9bTM at 4.20). He invited Michelle to come up with some lyrics. As the very clever lyricist she is, this was the result. She even managed a nod in the lyrics to Roger's undeservedly modest youtube pseudonym Lot2learn!
The recording does suffer from the vocals being slightly 'over cooked' and the clipping that resulted being still there despite my efforts to remove the problem.
The bass and drums were generated from the latest set of RealTracks that are available from PGmusic. The piano accompaniment was improvised from a leadsheet, and the transcription was done and added later.

  • The vocal was recorded separately as an MP3 on the little iriver MP3 player you see lying on the piano. The piano was improvised over the bass and drums and recorded in real time on my computer - using Band in a Box. The challenge is to keep the vocal recording and the accompaniment separate with no audible 'spillage' from one to the other.
