Warm and cozy &mdash 01/09/06 - 08:34:44 AM
Such a nice feeling this is, like a campfire, only inside! Is this mainly multitracked or is much of it live? It certainly has a very live feel and that's part of what makes this such a lovely track, nothing like a singalong to make one's heart feel right. There's the "high lonesome" harmony that rises to the top every now and again, and it's such a mournful song, but the company you're keeping has a calming effect. Love the talking and laughter at the end - this is a perfect snapshot of a good time all 'round. Some of the vocals come off a little hot and overdrive just a tad, but you did a great job mixing and performing, Caroline! [ Reply to This ]

Well the banks of Ohio are something I know a lot about. They take all
my money and I never see any of it. :-). Oh maybe you mean the Ohio
River, well I have spent a lot of time there with my love, photography. I
have taken many pictures along those banks. I can tell from all who are
singing you had a wonderful afternoon with friends. And you have such a
nice singing voice caroline. I enjoyed listening.-JAC [ Reply to This ]

It really was very nice. And the Ohio River forms the southern border of my
state, Indiana.
Beautiful singing. A warm feeling is evoked by the whole track. Is that you
on guitar? You sound great.
Thanks, Caroline.
(The song says "Explicit." I didn't hear anything that would qualify for that
distinction. All rather wholesome, which is fine by me.)

This is one of my favorite songs, sort of a creepy story put to a sing-song

dramatic given the subject matter. You all sound a bit like the old Pete

Very nice feeling on this tune -- you all obviously had a great time performing it together.
There's nothing quite like a live performance. The snowball mic does a pretty good job of recording all the many sounds in the room, but it needs a FRIEND! -- lol. The voices came through very well (especially one of them!), but the guitars sounded a bit distant. So the underpinning of rhythm and chords provided by those instruments was a bit "understated" on this track.
That's where a second microphone (or even a third one) would help matters greatly. Especially in a live performance with many players and sounds that are coming from various directions.
It's really nice to hear folk songs like this; the good feelings of your gathering shine through brightly in this recording. We can ALL stand to have our days brightened! [ Reply to This ]

We hear enough songs on MJ that are heavily produced with layer upon layer of sound. It's a pleasing change to hear a song with realtime layering and only two different instruments. Having been to many a jam session party (eat first, sing later), this one cast my mind to happy times, and I thank you for that. I would complain about the highest female voice sounding a bit far away, but I'm not in a complaining mood. I'll go with the operative word others here have used: fun! [ Reply to This ]
