The Vintage VE2000GG recorded on dual Avantone small diaphragm condensers (omni + cardioid)
I've also driven myself a bit demented the last 48 hours trying to get a public domain folk song to work as an arrangement.

With the vocal and rhythm guitar parts recorded in one take at the same time onto the Zoom H4n portable recorder I was stuck with the balance of vocal and guitar. The words get a bit buried in the mix - could be a good thing to hear less of me singing anyway, but the lyrics are on the soundclick page. Additional acoustic lead track, plus the uke bass and a bit of mandolin. The guitar used is the Tanglewood TW133 all Mahogany.
Everyone and their Auntie seem to have had a go at this song - including Pentangle, Mr Fox (my favourite), Nickel Creek, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Doc Watson, Buffy St Marie, Cara, and Pete Seeger. They all sound quite different and my attempt is not really based on any of them. Fun, but I wish I could get the song out of my head now - it's on a repeating loop in there!
