BUSH - shape-note score & solo-quartet recording



I finally have my sexy new digital microphone, The Samson CO3U, & this is the trial run, a demo solo-quartet overdub of the new tune we tried to sing at Mark's house. There is a downloadable pdf file of the score here, & to download an mp3 of the below podcast-player go here. The lyrics were composed in Liverpool this July:

BUSH

On this planet I spin around in anguish & grief.

If heav'n is more beautiful than California, then I want to go.

In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf,

So like a caterpillar will my love grow.

In my vineyard plague-locusts have devoured my belief,

The cankerworm has eaten up the palmerworm, I sow only woe,

In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf,

So like a caterpillar will my love grow.

Schweet! I have a Roland Edirol R-09 24-bit wave/mp3 recorder I can bring to a singing sometime. I don't know how to connect an outboard mic to it but if you do, we could try it.
