after I downloaded it.
Terrific! That harmony is so sweet! I just had to come back and praise
this infectious folk tune!
Cantor
thanks muchly! i had to sing it in a very mellow way because my son was asleep
in the next room. i did it late at night, but had to get it down for my students
the next day. otherwise, it might have sounded a bit different. Thanks for the
feedback!
I Like the melody and harmony on this. Not familiar with the original but
this was fun to listen to. I'd bring down the vocals in the mix about 2db.
Grooving...
Cantor
actually, i made the recording primarily to teach to my kids... that's why i've got
the vocals so hot. i hear ya about them. i'll play around with bringin' dem down.
thanks!

Great Harmonies, Cantor

Overall a fun and very listenable tune. The vocals are quite nice - melody and especially harmony. The chorus on the guitar track sounds a little overdone, though. Is it a GarageBand effect? I've found that their default guitar effect settings are a little over-the-top or cliche sounding, but with some tweaking you can get more subtle sounds out of them. You might try adjusting it a bit. Shabat Shalom!
