Hi All,
"Yellow Jacket" using a backing track for "Bus Stop"
and several other soundfiles (mp3's) that I had' nt posted before.
These are the titles:
All recorded on my home PC.
- Abel Boogie: A composition of mine. For backing, I used a
midi file from the net and enhanced it.
- Atlantis: A Shadows tune (also on video)
- Blue Star: A Shadows tune
- Dawn: Vinnie Bell 1964. (I reduced the original lead and I play it)
- Django's Valse: A Django tune
- Guitar Theme: Billy Mure (I reduced the original lead and I play it)
- It's Been A Blue Day: A Shadows tune
- Pour Trois pas: A Gypsy valse of Romane (a French Gypsy player)
- Rock This Town: Brian Setzer. I took the part where the big band
only is playing, and created a brand new theme over it.
- Sha...Boogie: Another composition of mine played over the same BT I
used for Abel Boogie, but with a faster beat(back in the
60's it used to be my band signature song and intro)
- Swing 42: A Django tune I play in harmonies and with new riffs.
- Take Five: Paul Desmond.
- Valse a Patrimonio: Another valse from Romane.
- Yellow Jackets: The Ventures. in my own way with a midi BT of another
tune really ("Bus Stop" I think).
On the <u>"Audio's"</u> section of my website:

Hi All,
What a great show at Suzy's last Saturday.
Nice to be there and see all those great bands performing and
unleashing their superb twang.
Thank you Jeff.
I guess I' ll dedicate this one to Marty for his Birthday.
(I think someone here requested it too).
It's called GERONIMO, composed in the early 60's by Hank Marvin.
I play it with changes and in double-stops. The problem is that the
harmony line being on the higher strings is a little bit louder than the
melody on the lower strings which happen to sound dull.
But if you know the melody, you can still hear it.
It's a bit hectic but I hope you like it.

Hi All,
I am almost done with the videos.
This time, you can turn your volume up all the way as there is no
clipping (I think).
It 's probably because the guitar volume is down.
Havn' t touched the acoustic since the Django episodes, so you' ll
hear misses.
I modified the original with personal arrangements and harmonies.
I also fitted a piece from a well-known theme that you will easely recognize
I still hope you like it.

Hi All,
An intrumental classic: "Apache". I play all the guitar tracks
except the rhythm guitar.
I play 3 melody lines that I added to the backing track.
The guitar keeps slipping away from my lap.
Keep in mind that it's a raw recording through the built-in mic
of a picture camera. There is some clipping too.
I still hope you like it.
Brian I don't know if this is the best way to update the posting
by adding a new recording and keeping the previous messages
in.

Hi All,
Jeff, Sorry to hear that you were taken to the hospital.
I hope this will make you feel a little better.
It's a surf tune I just heard from a French surf band I knew
from the 60's called "Les Fantomes".
In French, it's "La Marche Des Aigles".
A friend made me a copy of the CD, I reduced considerably the lead
guitar and I play over it.
I didn' t even take the time to learn correctly the tune and did the harmonies to the bass on the fly and wrong with a detuning guitar.
I havn' t heard the local bands play it here.
I am sure they would have alot of fun doing it.
Jeff There is even a bass solo for you to do.
I still hope you like it.
Next time we meet, I' ll make you a copy of this CD from 1961-64
French Surf. You will find it fascinating.
