Pamparo in Toronto

A new song I wrote as I look forward to the turning of the season … from winter to spring

BTW, if you know some tricks to reduce finger fret noise while recording an acoustic piece, please let me know!

Came up with this short tune just before we went on holiday a couple of weeks ago for the Family Day long-weekend … a little rough but you get the idea

Enjoy!

I am talking about one of the greatest analog delay pedals ever created … in Canada! hehehe … after trying both Strymon Brigadier and El Capistan, I realized that what I had before was all I really wanted! DOH! Talk about waste of time & resources! Anyhow, she’s back from the shop with a much needed dotted-eight mod …

Diamond MLN1 with the dotted-8th mod

And of course, I have to try if it works … and it does! Here’s a clip where I used it on a couple of tracks:

Nice! ice! ce! e! !

I think (and hope) that I’m done buying gear for this year … though I’m still in the process of selling some!

Now where’s my metronome, it’s practice time!

My goal is to sell more this coming year to recoup some money. And maybe really focus more on playing the instrument and getting better in the process … hopefully

For now, here’s something I’ve recorded today using some of these gears
