I actually got a chance to record today. I used my looper to record this. Not as a loop but in traditional format. Piano, bass, drums, 2 guitars, snare and cymbal, 4 vocals, and 2 whistling parts recorded in that order. The looper records in mono in a wav format. So I recorded the piano bass and drums then copied them to another channel on my looper. Then I overdubbed the left channel and right channel parts on the corresponding looper tracks. It's sort of like ping ponging on a 4 track. Then I uploaded to the computer, combined the 2 channels in audacity, eq'd a tiny bit, and exported as an mp3. Confusing I know but it makes sense to me. It's the first song on my profile - "tonight you belong to me" It was written in 1926 by lyricist Billy Rose and music writer Lee David. Most folks here would remember it as the ukulele song from "the jerk".

Just sharing but critiques are welcome.

Here is the wikipedia article on the song

Here is the Steve Martin and Benadette Peters version from the jerk...

Very 60's Paul. I like it.

I liked it Paul!

And good call Chippy, 60's sounding... Beatles in particular.

Great job. Loved the whistling on the end.

Nice ! Thanks, I needed that.

Thanks gents. Maybe I was born in the wrong era?!

No sir!
You bees here & now for a reason.
I dont know the reason, but I'm glad your here, just the same.

Very cute Paul...whistling was outstanding.

Glad to hear from you Mary. You are the one I thought of first when I posted because of the whistling.

Great choice of song, Paul!

Very well performed, too. I like this a bunch.

Glad to hear from you Mary. You are the one I thought of first when I posted because of the whistling.

I guess playing the flute is like refined whistling.

Thanks gents. Maybe I was born in the wrong era?!

I liked the song. It was really 60's but you've been all over the map on generational stuff.

I meant to ask you what "genre" you prefer?

The 60's comment is funny to me since the song was written in 1926! I do agree though.

Favorite genre... That's a tough one. I guess
pure pop rock like this...
"let it go"

Or hard rock like this....
"nothing but wrong"
