Your favourite recording OF YOURSELF !

[Basil Henriques]

This could be enlightening, we all have favourite recordings of other players, but come on it's time to confess up as to your OWN personal favourite of YOURSELF..
it doesn't necessarily need to be a commercial recording, and to start the ball rolling I'll list mine, recorded on a Philips 1/4" in mono @ 3.75 ips, live at the Castaways Night Club in 1966.
My no1 favourites would be:- Sweet Leilani, or South Sea Island Magic.
Those versions are by Pat, Mike de Sousa, Frank and myself live at the castaways when I was 23 years old, BUT from the same amateur recording period would be my favourites from a rehearsal session:- 12th Street Rag or Hula Blues. If you listen closely you can hear chat in the background and myself calling the chord changes whilst playing 12th Street Rag..

Basil, i tried to post my one and only pedal steel recording of myself, so far, my inaugral Biab based 'HICKORY WIND' that you recently hosted for me and posted on the old site, but could not post because there is a maximum on 2mb [or is it gb?] per post,
12th street rag brought back some memories, when i first started gigging, i was in a showband, [remember them Basil?] i was the spotty faced, long haired, 17 year old david cassidy look alike, on my gibson sg special, playing with my first band 'the Skyliners' we had a brass section that featured trumpet and trombone, and along with a top class accordian player, they used to do a great version of that tune, happy days! c.1973

It's done like this Eddie:-
First [url=
then the actual url where the file's hosted i.e. http://www.waikiki-islanders.com/assets ... 0Wind2.mp3
then close bracket ]
then the name you want to give it "Excremental Meanderings" or whatever
then open bracket and slash [/
then url closed bracket like this url]

Then you get this..
The unedited one
The processed one

HERE is the code written with a mistake so you can see the complete format.. NOTE the missing "L" in the first section that's the mistake..
