Busking The Swiss Alps

Michele asked about songs in Open G and I said, no don't play any.... but I was wrong! 2 years ago DennisG and I both worked on Never Comes The Day (Moody Blues, surprise, surprise!) at exactly the same time and Dennis posted his version and dedicated it to me while I was working on mine literally guitar in hand. Quite a synchronous event! Haven't played it since so I decided to dust it off (still not quite 100%) and as the weather was so fabulous I travelled up to Klosters in Prättigau for the day to sing to the Alps! beautiful scenery all the way. Hope you enjoy the musical post card.

Also added Gypsy as I am working on that too and the first part of the video would have been soundless otherwise! Still trying to get that up to speed, tricky.

Yes, that's the sound outside Willem, just propped up my iPhone on the bench and recorded. I must say, the AVS video maker and the upload to youtube have seriously mangled the sound and picture quality!!

Thanks for tuning in Willem and Craig!

Edit: Willem, I stripped the audio out of the video and doubled the track in Audacity and slightly off-set the timing of the 2 tracks (0.02 secs) to make it stereo. Then I added the track back into the video in AVS.

Nice Chris. But after traveling by train, and hiking up the Alps, you certainly must have played more than one song before you climbed back down. Did you record any other songs or doodles?
