The Beauty of the Rain - Dar Williams & Zannman Remix

TENAZ DYSFUNCTIONAL REEKS PRAATJIE 25 MAART 2025

Another take on a new song called "Drop D Blues". This song is actually a reimagining of a song I wrote in 2018. It is in Open D tuning (Drop D), and played on capo 2. I was experimenting with a new recording approach. I was in close proximity to a single Neumann TLM mic, aimed so it picked up more vocal than guitar. I copied the original track and pasted it into two separate tracks, panned left and right and with different production on each. Makes it sound richer to my ear. 

Drop D Blues 3-30-25 v1.2

My Cover of "Just a Song Before I Go", by Crosby Stills & Nash.  I recorded this today with my new UA Apollo X4 and a Soyuz 017 FET condenser mic.  I must say, this new fangled digital equipment is pretty spiffy.  Remastered 6/11/2025.

I have an ongoing collaboration since 2018 with my friend Michael who lives in both Poland and LA. In the summer of 2025, Michael had a series of sessions with professional musician Avi on both guitar and vocals. I did production work and added bass. Beautiful stuff. This is a version of "helplessly Hoping" by Crosby Stills Nash.

I grew up in India in the 60s and 70s and these are bands that were the soundtrack to my younger years. Most of these songs are covers of some great singers and songs I grew up listening to. It's a joy and an honor to sing these covers. I try to do them like the originals wherever I can. I sing all the voices and play the instruments that are on each cover. I also do the recording and mastering. Shoot me a message if you like any of these tunes.

Singer/Songwriter/Drummer in Dallas, TX. I believe in working with real musicians and tracking as much as possible live.
