OUBLIE MOI, apology of banjolele

[Jean Pierre]

it's an auto bump especially for ODH, in apology of the banjolele, which is a really nice little instrument.
I don't know why the video is not reloaded here?....I put it on my last message

Love it my friend, some sound you have here, well done... Alex
Great vid also.

This was so much fun....really love your creativity here....you use so many instruments, you could be a surgeon..... and kind of funny too...that little plastic container you sing through... I guess that thing on your lap you play with the slide is a banjoele....it doesn't look that small.... and the bass you play is cool...The recording is excellent too...and your slide work is fantastic...I was going to say you don't seem to be into wind instruments...but the kazoo says otherwise....would miss so much without the video...thanks

[Jean Pierre]

Thank you Stephen

you use so many instruments, you could be a surgeon...

Pendant mon activité professionnelle (phystherapist in a Burn Center), je travaillais souvent avec les chirurgiens au bloc opératoire...Ils m'apellaient Mc Gyver...

Fantastic video and song JP! The kazoo and the plastic bottle mounted on the harmonica neck holder is a great idea! With your vocal technique and how you're playing/recording all the various instruments captures the authentic sound of the 1940s. The washboard with brushes is the "bee's knees".....an old expression that means very well done!

I enjoyed that a lot. My favorite part is how you got the old 78 RPM record sound for the vocal with that bottle, what kind of bottle is it? It looks like a small bleach bottle.

I wanted to reproduce the effect obtained with a bronze megaphone that I had seen in the video I was inspired by.

....but as on the recording the effect was not marked enough I used an Equalize plug ins by cutting the high and low frequencies, as here with audacity, but we can do it with all DAW plug ins.

Brilliant JP. I love this kind of music and you did a fantastic job, great vocal and kazoo work. Loved the video as well, great fun!

[WarpCanada]

It's fantastic. You nailed the old radio sound.
