	fantastic playing! Thanks for noticing about the tone. I think I the pre amp helps in that regard. Even though Betsy, my acoustical guitar is a nicely made guitar. --- <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/furnerbill">Latest CD Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

	Nice Amp... ... No really - nice amp. :) I like this non-traditional take on a traditional carol. Very well executed! Check out my latest song called The Broken Doll's Waltz

	amped! I notice a difference using the pre amp, BIll. Lovely sound on this. Excellent picking as usual. Your production continues to improve. Very nice piece, arrangement. 9-10-9-10 Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

	amped! Thanks Tom, so glad. it seems pretty user friendly, not many knobs. They even say in the guide that they made the box to be very basic to keep the cost down and having just the basics. The music store guy says thev've been talking about it. --- <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/furnerbill">Latest CD Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

And the sound ...
And the sound seems to have become softer, warmer, more "natural",
more professional with the new preamp!

Thought it is a little difficult to distinguish what comes from the
preamp and what comes from other factors since different recordings
results in so very different sound characters. Your own earlier
recordings for example show great variations in sound character (I
haven't forgot your bathroom recording, liked that)...

But this sure has a good character. The sharp edges of acoustic guitar
that condenser mics usually tend to almost amplify, are not here in this
recording and I guess that is on the preamp.

	And the sound ... It seems more up front, being it is my first tune I used it on, I have to move the mics around and test it more. Thanks for posting! --- <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/furnerbill">Latest CD Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

	Butterfly's dance Beautiful arpeggio. The tone thinks of the recording of a high-level studio. The sound dances like the butterfly. Check out my latest song called Mexican taste

That's some preamp!
Great sound, not as if you've ever been plagued with BAD sound, mind
you...

I used to use the FMR Really Nice Compressor, which is also amazing.
Hard to use in my present set-up with the computer and all. Have to
figure out how to use it with the Saffire interface... But their stuff is
astoundingly good for the money.

I like the rich tone on this, with the brassy ringing strings in the top
end. Your time and your arrangement are impeccable. Nice use of the
harmonics. Nice traditional feel.

Into the family holiday collection it goes.... And into the VERY LONG
tiler playlist, as well.

	That's some preamp! Thanks for posting Thanks for posting about the compressor, I'll have to send you an email on what the sound difference is between using it and not using it. --- <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/furnerbill">Latest CD Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

Go Betsy!
How many tracks did you lay on this? Sounds like only 1

So simple refined and wonderful.

I'd like to buy a CD with all your music on it.... especially the holiday and Christian music Will you ship it out? only if you autograph it as well!

How much? If you video tape DVD yourself playing with some instruction on songs like this, I'd love to learn this style of playing...

By the comments I'm not the only one!

	Simply amazing! I know it's not so simple. You have taken God's gift and developed it through a lot of hard work. You are indeed a grand master of fingerpicking. 10's across the board again! God bless, Rick Check out my latest song called Picture of Perfection (MJRF)
