...I had a lot of fun doing it
It's a song by a French yéyé group (1962, the advent of the twist...)
The yéyé is a musical movement that emerged in the early 1960s. The expression is used in France and Quebec and generally refers to music or song adapted from an Anglo-Saxon success, then very popular with the Baby Boomer youth born after the Second World War.
this song was then covered in the Manouche style by the great French guitarist (Django Reinhard's cousin): Tchavolo Schmitt

Tres braw!
Brilliant JP - it sounds like something from the 1920's. Great to hear a kazoo and wash board again - brought a smile to my face. T'es fou ! ;D
Pete
just brilliant... you are giving Hook a run for his money with the strange noises on here. Really great and authentically old sounding!
Mike
thank you friends, tomorrow (if it rains) I'll make the short video to show you the instruments in situation)
if the weather is nice and hot...pool and no music ;)
Very nice. I like the fact that you used organic, authentic methods to achieve the vintage sound. I have read about plugins that can process the sound to make it sound like a scratchy record, etc. But you did it a natural way.
thank you desofree
QuoteBut you did it a natural way.
...to the truth not entirely, I tinkered with an acoustic megaphone with a bottle of milk because I didn't have a real bronze megaphone from the 20's, but I still processed the sound in reaper with an unstable plug by simply cutting the low frequencies and high frequencies and making a dent in the medium
for the cracking of old LPs scratching there are lots of Wave files on the Net ;)
this afternoon I make the video to show the washboard, uke bass, megaphone ,, kazoo, authentic banjolele gibson of the 20's :)
An absolute joy to listen to, you've captured the feel and sound of the 20's Perfectly. Bravo. Willie
