I got up this morning, and it was so hot, the butter had melted in the tub; I had to spread it with a spoon ... 35 degrees centigrade at 9am ... merry Christmas all!!!

I think some of the psychological effect is also to do with the fact that previously we had "groups", now we have "artists" ... in the days of yore you'd look at a (generic) group and have a favourite (maybe two), the couple that were OK, and the one that was part of the group that was your least favourite, but he was still part of the group, and occasionally did something that amazed you.

These days the "group" concept is gone -  musicians are just hired hands for the (usually) vocalist/artist, who is the center point - the musicians can/do change, so you only have one focal point, which you either like, or don't like - or some shade of grey in between.

another point is that, when you bought LP's/Casettes ( and up to a point CD's) - you put an investment of time into them; looking at covers, reading the inner linier notes etc, as you listened to the music, you'd made an investment of time and money. These days it's easy to point your browser at TPB and download 10Gb worth of an artists life works in a torrent and listen to it on your headphones throughout your day while working ... so the investment of dollars is now low, as well as the investment of time.

I do not condone piracy in any way, shape or form.     

If I were to get acoustic effects, I'd probably go with an AIO - the Boss one seems pretty good; or get a decent DI (Fishman/LR Baggs) and pump it through FOH ...     

Thanks for the comments - this is "Killing me softly": https://youtu.be/535zyX_Ok38     

Nice track!!     

I'll go in ...     

Thanks     

Another song I missed out on doing, "I can see clearly now": https://youtu.be/lOvaENVfp74

Enjoy

I wanted to do this in a previous FSOTM, so, in a way, it's a reflection of the year, "Sunny": https://youtu.be/Jo2rpwMx6IQ
