Name: You'll Never Walk Alone (karaoke version) by Butch Ammon
Duration: 1 min 44 s
Description: This is a beautiful karaoke backing track, that I enhanced a little with Audacity on my laptop, and saved it as an .mp3 file.

This is me demonstrating my new Alesis Nitro Mesh electronic drum kit.  It's really cool!  The first section is a brief 4/4 rock beat, similar to The Eagles song "Those Shoes".  The last section is where I switched settings on the Alesis module and played a basic blues shuffle.

Drums

Alesis Nitro Mesh (Sample)

A rough demo recorded on my new Tascam DP-03SD, 8 track digital multitrack recorder.  Keyboards, drums, acoustic guitar, bass, vocals & harmony vocals, all done and mixed by me.
Edit:  Sorry if my vocals are a little sour... This  was way up at the top of my vocal range - you figure I wrote this when I was like, 18-19 years old back in the 70's, and tossed aside for 40+ years because I thought it sucked...

Track 1: Alesis Nitro Mesh electronic drums.
Track 2: Alvarez 6 string acoustic.
Track 3: Yamaha DGX-505, full size keyboard (piano w/ string quartet mode in the background).
Track 4: Samick 4 string bass (a cheap P-bass copy)
Track 5: Harmony vocals.
Track 6: Lead vocals.

The Road Less Traveled (DEMO)

Just a basic rough sketch of a track that I came up with, using my Tascam DP-03SD multitrack recorder, playing all the instruments:
1) Fender Player Stratocaster w/ Boss Katana amp & MXR Phase 90.
2) Old, beatup, POS, Samick bass (P Bass copy).
3) Old Ibanez mandolin.
4) Yamaha DGX-505 full size keyboard, in church organ mode.
5) Alesis Nitro Mesh, electronic drums.

You'll Never Walk Alone (karaoke version)

This is a homemade backing track of the old classic Elvis rockabilly tune "That's All Right Mama".
Drums = percussion track written in Finale and saved/uploaded as a MIDI file.
Bass = me.
Rhythm guitar = me.
All you need to do with this is sing Elvis's vocal part and play Scotty Moore's lead guitar break.  Edit:  Listen carefully to the drum track...  After the count-in, I made a very short 16th note flam-a-diddle on the ride tom (approx @ 7 second mark).  That's where the "Well..." starts with the vocal part.



That's All Right Mama (Mixdown)

I am a multi-instrumentalist and play a little of everything.  But my main instruments are:  Trumpet and Guitar.

I am retired from the US Coast Guard and have been in a few bands here and there over the years and loved every minute of it.  I enjoy playing, writing/recording music, and of course performing on stage (if given the chance).  I don't care too much for singing lead vocals though.  My voice is too deep for singing rock 'n roll (i.e. I have sort of a Johnny Cash voice).
