Okay, this is the last in this series of posts from this recording session... This is a tune which I posted to BHO well over two years ago, as an instrumental take on this cool song by John Hartford. About 4 or 5 years ago a friend of mine in Knoxville, Kent Bilbry, bought an 8-track digital recorder and I spent a day or two over there laying down about 20 raw tunes, just banjo and a tick track, so he could learn how to use his new machine. Steam Powered Aeroplane was one of the tunes I laid down. At that time, Kent gave me a rough CD of several tunes I had laid down -- and I have posted the mix he had done at that time, which was an instrument-only version. I didn't know until this weekend (Jan 14, 2012) that he had gone on to rework some of the tracks, and he had added the vocals to this tune. This started only as me picking without a tick track on this cut (banjo only), then I overdubbed a 2nd banjo part and later on Kent added some bass, mandolin, and lead vocal. It helps flesh out the recording a lot nicer, although it ain't half bad as an instrumental. This was a treat for me to hear a few days ago for the first time, I hope it is a treat for you too. Enjoy.
