I think your vox sounds a little like NY, too!! You are right - this is a special contribution - a good one.

Catch you later,

I have always loved this song, it is fragile. And your performance is really super fine.  Really great job SdC.  I LOVE this.

I haven't heard many of the Neil songs, but a super job. I loved your harmonies.  So well blended. Am trying to catch up on the posts.  It is hard sometimes. this song is really great.

Missed this one SdC. I don't know the song, but you did a great job here. Like the harmonies and the stripped down approach. I also like the way you used the stereo image for this one.

Cheers,

Nigel

Funny you guys saying it's stripped down.... I was inspired by Neil's rendition on the "Sugar Mountain; live at Canterbury House '68" album, where he does it completely solo with guitar. I started out with just (guitar-synth) piano like on the "After the goldrush" album but couldn't get it sounding right. So after doing the vox, I did the guitar.
The stereo image is actually quite narrow; b-vox L/R 15, like 3 virtual me's standing around a single mic! Reverb does the rest.
Also, Bus Stetson mentions tremolo on the guitar... no such thing! I mic'd  the guitar just inches away from the soundhole, what you're hearing is the resonance of the sound wanting to escape the body.
Cheers!
