I'm attempting to record and upload via my iPhone, as my computer is in the shop. I first heard Red Prairie Dawn by Don Huber's enjoyable band who was playing at an outdoor event. Next I heard it on Adam Hurt's lovely new CD "Artifacts." I worked it out in an odd tuning -- aDGBE, tuned down four steps for cello banjo. I'd like to know more about Garry Harrison who recorded the Dear Old Illinois anthology. He wrote a few tunes, like this one, and seems to have played fast and energetically. Please let me know what you think about the recording quality. Thanks for listening G.

Good recording. Can't perceive any problem

Thanks, Yigal. The only problems were trimming the beginning and ending due to static noise. The iPhone went to sleep during the recording, so I couldn't turn it off on time.

I do such trimming of both audio and video files regularly, "with my eyes closed." I refer to it as the "processing" step.

I didn't used to do that, Yigal, and lots of my videos show my hand reaching out to turn off the recording. Live and learn.

My processings involves also reducing the size of audio and video files to less than 10th of their original recording size.

Easier to store and upload that way, Yigal?

Yes, and less imposing on those you might send as email attachments. A good friend of both of us, emails me audio attachments and sometime pictures that are as 8 mb large. I developed procudure in which their size is reducd (to 10% or less, of their size) on the way down to the hard disk of my computer.

A great arrangement and a very fine performance. It's always a pleasure to listen to your elegant and thoughtful banjo interpretations.
