A Thanksgiving melody…

Hiya Patrick,
I’ve revived my love for the sounds of accordion and banjo in harmony in a recording, today, with a little 6-sting thrown in for bass:

I tried to record a video a while back (last Spring?) with banjo and accordion in harmony. I’m not sure I shared that yet. The accordion has buttons laid out in 5ths just like the autoharp – a great folk instrument, I think!
And I also, have a question: I’ve found myself “jamming” with a local band that plays more of the rock electric, playing my banjo. They’re looking to folk it up a bit. If we record separate tracks, the mix is outstanding, but playing live in impossible what with two guitars and two drummers, even. What are your thoughts on mics, electric banjos, transdenser/condenser mics, etc?

Hi again Patrick!
I want to say a big thanks for teaching me this last year, I cannot stress enough how much help your online workshops and blogs etc have been. It’s been a huge amount of fun and I’ve even managed to figure out the tune which originally made me want to play 5 string banjo. Here’s me playing it
Keep doing what you do and shout me if you ever wish to pay Liverpool a visit !
Cheers,
Wes
