The CD should be up on CD Baby in about a week.

It is a super HAWT version.

Well thanks for keeping an open mind. This certainly is not a "vocal" record. I look at is as a "Band" record with vocals thrown in. The vocals just add more flava an interest. We have 3 good vocalists in the band, which I think is a unique situation that I wanted to exploit.

Because people like the vocal numbers.... it's impossible to please everyone you know. BUT I can tell you that many of vocals have just one chorus of singing and the rest is the band jamming away. You know there will be plenty of hot solos!

I know, and I agree with you on all that. I was just trying to kid you there guy! I understand that you are going for a certain sound, and that you want things to be done in very strict terms. That's fine and your perogative, and also very instructive for teaching people, including other musicians, ...

To quote Harvey Korman in "High Anxiety": "You're so strict!"

If you are just playing rhythm, using guitar or banjo to play 4 to the bar would not make much difference- except of course that banjo has a brighter tone. If you are playing solos, it would sound a lot different. You can hear 4 to the bar banjo playing in a lot of early recordings by famous swing b...

JOnathan-

I know it was a bit later than when we are talking about here as far as style.... but what is your opinion on Charlie Christian? Didn't he play hollow body electric? Was his instrument considered an Arch top??

"I've Found a New Baby"- Sidney Bechet

"Willie the Weeper"

Both minor, Charleston type 20's tunes.
