Hi Rog - must be the Eke ancestral blood running in our veins! (Mind you, my playing has had many people in tears...)

Technical data on the recording for those who might be interested:

• Tenor track recorded first with the Zoom H2 – keeping as steady a tempo as possible – simultaneously video'd with my Canon EOS 70D+18mm-135mm lens.

• Tenor track topped and tailed with Audacity, and placed as Track 1 in Garageband on my Mac Book Pro.

• Guitar backing track recorded second with the Zoom H2, with quiet playback in earbuds so I could sync correctly.

• Also processed with Audacity and placed as Track 2 in Garageband.

• I placed the tenor Pan at about 11 o'clock and the backing guitar (my model O) Pan at about 1 o'clock.

• I added a little reverb to the tenor – just to help the separation from the backing guitar.

• Then all was mixed down to an m4a file.

• Video edited in iMovie.

• Mp4 audio file synched with video, and camera audio detached and erased.

• Mixed down to HD in iMovie and uploaded to YouTube.

All good clean fun!
