August, 2021 - Just when we thought we were out of the woods edition

Dear Friends -

Hope this finds you safe from the virus and its growing list of variants -- there is some nasty stuff going around! Please protect yourselves and your loved ones as best you can.

Meanwhile, some fun music stuff to report:

Since our previous newsletter, we uploaded a video of ourselves performing an instrumental version of Neil Sedaka's "Laughter In The Rain", recorded live in our project studio: https://youtu.be/cNk0CLVk2_A

For our harmonicist friends Slim presented a workshop for HarmonicaUK's "Chromatic Weekend" back in June, which was on Zoom (again) this year. The topic was "Clean Mic'ing & Processing Techniques for Chromatic Harmonica (Live & Studio)" and should you be interested, the replay is here: https://youtu.be/wthzlshpVBs At the tail end of the workshop Slim played a bunch of harmonica choruses on "Bye Bye Blackbird", this link skips all of the preceding talk if you'd just like to hear some playin': https://youtu.be/wthzlshpVBs?t=4153
