I recorded
the following songs in 2012 on my pedal steel guitar for my web visitors. I
hope you enjoy them. Please understand that I did not perform on the
original recordings, nor have any of these recordings been sanctioned by the
original singers and musicians. I just recorded these to share my heart with
others. I recently remixed all the songs in stereo. The first song is I Have Been
Blessed by The Far City Boys...
I
Have Been Blessed (128 KBPS)
I Have Been Blessed (320 KBPS)
I Have Been blessed (LOUDER STEEL)
Here's the
original song without a
pedal steel guitar.
The next heart-touching song is titled,
If You Only Knew by The Rochesters...
If
You Only Knew (128 kbps)
If You Only Knew (320 kbps)
If You Only Knew (louder steel - 128 kbps)
Here's the
original song.
I recorded the following songs in April of
2012. The song
is by The Primitive Quartet and is called, Please Go
With Us To Heaven...
Please
Go With Us To Heaven (128 kbps)
Please Go With Us To Heaven (320 kbps)
Please Go With Us To Heaven (louder
steel guitar - 128 kbps)
Here's the
original song.
Here's some more songs that I recorded this
year. The first is I
Just Want To Thank You Lord by The Rochesters...
THANK
YOU LORD (128 kbps)
THANK YOU LORD (320 kbps)
THANK YOU LORD (Louder guitar - 128 kbps)
Here's the
original song.
Also, here's a
beautiful version of the song that I wanted to record with, but when the guy
starts singing (what a great voice God gave him) a women falls apart
emotionally and you can hear her losing it. No Christian woman should scream
like that in church. That's not the “meek and quiet spirit, which is
in the sight of God of great price” (1st Peter 3:4). The
demonic Charismatic movement teaches women to be boisterous, loud and to
scream like that. Albeit, she comes closer to being right than those who
never get excited over the truth.
And here's the second song, also by The
Rochesters, called Brighter Day...
BRIGHTER DAY (128 kbps)
BRIGHTER DAY (320 kbps)
BRIGHTER DAY (quieter steel guitar - 128 kbps
Here's the
original song.
Here's a very nice song by The Marshall Family
(*Note: I'm just playing along on my own, I didn't record on the
original recording). The song is called, Then Came Jesus. I
added a pedal steel guitar from my heart to the song today. The songs are at
a bit rate of 128, which is nice digital quality. I hope you like them. I
made these for all my web visitors...
THEN CAME JESUS (128 kbps)
THEN CAME JESUS (320 kbps)
Here's the
original in a YouTube video.
Here's the same recording, but with a LOWER
steel guitar volume. I like a louder
steel guitar myself, but that's because the Lord gave me the desire to play
the steel guitar...
THEN CAME JESUS (LOWER VOLUME ON STEEL GUITAR) - 128 kbps
Here's a nice song that I recently recorded in
March of 2012. It
shows how a pedal steel guitar can be used in different songs. It
certainly is a versatile instrument, great for accompaniment or soloing as
an instrumental...
REMIND ME DEAR LORD
- LOUDER GUITAR (128
kbps)
REMIND ME DEAR LORD - LOUDER GUITAR (320kbps)
REMIND ME DEAR LORD (LOWER VOLUME ON STEEL GUITAR - 128 kbps)
Here's a song that I recorded in December of
2011...
Hello
Vietnam
I usually save songs in two different
MP3 sizes (64 kbps is FM radio quality. 128 is digital quality. 320 is the
best quality MP3). The 128 kbps files are only about 3 MB verses 9 MB, which
is why I give my visitors a choice of files to download. I always choose 320
kbps. I've noticed that when burning 128 kbps to a CD, it causes more
problems (skipping disks) than 128 kbps files do. You won't hear a difference
between 128 or 320 kbps, but I made both in case you want the higher
quality 320kbps.
I hope you like these songs. They're all from
my heart. Lord willing, I have projects I would like to do, if my health
holds up. Most of the time lately I just don't feel like playing because of
my peripheral neuropathy and neck pain. The meds sedate me. I do thank the
Lord that I can still play music. Some people don't have that option
anymore. I made these songs for all web visitors and friends online. Please keep me in your prayers.
How I Recorded These Songs
I'm playing through the “Record Out” of a
battery-powered $125 Roland MicroCube amp. I use the power adaptor at home,
which is where I recorded this song. I used a $40 Lexicon (Alpha model)
interface to record directly onto my computer using $75 MixCraft software.
Who needs an expensive studio? I'm using a BOSS DD-3 delay and some reverb
on the MicroCube.
On the song, Please Go With Us To Heaven,
I put an Audio-Technica microphone in front of my 40-year old Peavey
Session 400 amp and recorded the steel guitar live. It has a 15" JBL
speaker. You are hearing exactly what came out of the amp. You probably
couldn't tell the difference between the two recording techniques (that is,
recording directly into the MicroCube verses miking the Session 400 amp). I
like using both. I can record with the MicroCube at 2 A.M. and not wake
anybody up, since the sound goes directly into the computer. The main
difference is that on live recording, I'm recording air vibrations coming
from the amplifier's speaker; whereas with the MicroCube I'm going directly
into the computer and there is no air transfer (actual sound being
recorded). Technology is so good these days that you can't hardly tell the
difference. It's pretty incredible how all this stuff works. Isn't God
amazing!!!
Philippians 2:13, “For it is God which
worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” That is why
this website is here, i.e., because God has done a work in my heart to will
and to do of His good pleasure. Amen and amen!
I ask for your earnest prayers for this
ministry and me daily. This ministry is much bigger than me, it's about the
Lord Jesus Christ, Who is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE (John 14:6)!
HEAR YE HIM!
“Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation
22:20).
I love you all in the Lord,
whoever you may be!
John 20:31, "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his
name."
It's not what you're doing that gets you to Heaven, it's where you're looking.
Look to Jesus!
