Down Devon Way - Cammeyer
This is my second experiment with the new mic. Previously, I always recorded myself playing with the piano part in the background whenever I played a piece w/ the piano part; this time I have recorded the banjo part with the new mic and added the piano part afterwards.
So here's a nice piece in Cammeyer's more lyrical style; like much of his output, it's a beautiful tune bordering on treacle, but the schmaltz is more than amply redeemed by its virtues as a composition, with unusual harmonies that never fail to make me feel nostalgic and homesick.
As far as I know, this solo has only ever been recorded by D. Lillywhite (perhaps by Cammeyer and Sheaff as a duet?). As much as I enjoy Lillywhite's version, I found it a bit too slow (4 and a half minutes for a one-page solo) so I made my version a bit more lively and slightly less sugary.

Maestro Michael Moss’s magical music, magnificently mellifluous, minimally mawkish, marvellously melodic.
Music maker Mike’s meritorious microphonic masterpiece.
More !!!!

I experimented with my new headphones to listen to your recording, closed my eyes and drifted away with the music. Brilliant but where are you? Where's the cat? Where's the 'stuff' in the background? I had to visualise the flowing fingers and effortless style!
Lovely piece. More please.

Thank you, Mr and Mrs Reallynice! Adding a video track is my third and last challenge. I know many professional musicians on Youtube record their sound and video separately and then put them together, but I'm not sure how to do it. It's already difficult enough trying to get the banjo and piano parts to play in sync...
