I'm as serious as I am normally -
;)
Sure, some people who were at the party posted some pictures.
I'd be glad to furnish them. Here they are:

(not everyone in the picture got to play, but all of them are great
musicians)
I will say that it was a party "for musicians, by musician".
It was an Appreciation for Ray Codrington - a local jazz musician
that is a favorite of many of the jazz guys in the local area.
There were about 120 people there, 97% were musicians. At any given
time, there were about 80 people.
I noticed that Julien Claassen has said he had listened to
Eddie Harris while growing up. One of Eddie's jazz classics is a
song called "Freedom Jazz Dance". Ray Codrington was the
trumpet player on that recording done back in the mid 60s.
One thing I will seriously share is that this really is my first
Linux audio piece, and I am figuring out how to make it all work.
There are probably a few steps I left out or didn't
completely describe.
;)
However, let me flip the tape over and see if I can somehow get
another song loaded up on Garageband... I'll point to it when
it becomes available.

Are you serious!!??
Sound quality is amazing - how many mics were used? Playing is great -
what's the name of the band/musicians?
And I really don't buy your story about the other recording - there is
superb stereo separation, the drums are recorded really nicely.. So not
something you could do on a boom box?
Given the above, I would say the organ is probably a real B3.... :)
Any chance of a picture of how it was recorded?

Thanks, guys for your advise and opinion. I
appreciate your help.
Someone at the party had a linux laptop and we hooked it up to an
Evolution MK-461C keyboard that was laying around. I wasn't going
to
put this on the web, because the sound quality
isn't as good, but I
was
going to ask if you could recognize this as being
either the Bristol
emulation or the Connie emulation you were talking about.
You may need to turn it up to be able to hear it. Anyway, if you
happen to know if this is Bristol or Connie it may help to know which
one it was. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the B4 emulation.
Here's the link:

Which emulation is your guess? Just like the last one, you may need
to
download the MP3, because the sound may skip when
played with the
GarageBand player (which requires Flash v.6 or better).

Well, last May 17 I had some friends over to play some music in the
room
above my garage. I had fixed the room up to
look like a bar.
Suddenly, I remembered that I had an old Radio Shack boom box in one
of
my closets with some built in microphones that
went straight to the
cassette tape. I looked around and tried to find a chromium tape,
but
since I couldn't find one, I had to settle
for the dolby noise
reduction
that was build into the tape deck. Last week I
had remembered the
tape
and used my old computer with a SoundBlaster
card, so I had the idea
of
putting the analog audio on a computer. The old
computer uses a
Celeron processor with about 125 mb of memory - it had linux on it so
it
would run at all. I think it was something like
RedHat 6.X or 7.X,
but
I'm not sure. In searching thru the
applications that might have
something to do with sound, I found one called 'Audacity', which I
could
use to take the analog tape outputs and put them
in the computer.
It
pretty much filled up the hard drive. I was
really happy to see that
it
seemed to have worked, so I made an MP3 so I
could put it on the web
(plus, I needed the space back on my hard drive). Since it was
recorded above my garage, I decided to put it on garageband.com.
Here is the link:
http://www.garageband.com/song?|pe1|S8LTM0LdsaSgZ1GxZ2E
(you may want to just download the MP3, because it seems like it
skips a
lot when I try to play it from GarageBand).
I'd be interested in hearing opinions from any of the people on this
list about how you think it sounds.

PS - Do I remember correctly that Paul Hindemith was a bebop jazz
player? I can't remember if he played sax or guitar.. I was
surprised he stopped by and said "Hello". I thought he had died on
the
bandstand of a heart attack while on a gig a long
time ago.
