Here’s another weekend track from the basement studio. I started this on a whim Friday and finished up the recording Saturday evening. I got a mix before I went to bed and then checked it again this morning before converting it to an MP3.

The goal was to do an all-acoustic version of “Come Together”. I also wanted to use only percussion instruments I had here, and I don’t have any acoustic drums. I wanted “drums” but I was determined to not use digital drums. I have some hand percussion stuff, like tambourines, shakers and claves, but I thought I wanted to have the beat from the original recording, even though I changed the lick a bit. So I used 3 cardboard boxes for the drums and a tambourine with extra reverb for a crash. That and regular tambourine are the only “drums”. There is a 6 string acoustic rhythm, a 12 string acoustic rhythm, bass (the only electric instrument), a couple slide tracks, a lead track, 2 vocals and the pseudo-drums.

I had lots of fun with this recording. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Rockerbob.
I'm a loser. No, I'm not talking about the Beatles song (haha). I want to hear your clips of CT and HH but every time I click on the link, it won't download. I get the "page cannot be displayed" message. Am I missing something? (please don't say brain cells) I really want to check it out. Thanks.

Sorry about the problems. If you are on Windows, try right clicking on the link and choose "Save target as...". On a Mac, Control-Click the link and choose "Download to disk...". That might do the trick. If not, let me know and I will figure something else out. I posted these so folks could hear it. I'd like it to work for you.
