April in Paris (Rob McConnell with Ed Bickert, remixed audio)

Just an experiment to hear more of what Ed is doing on this track. Compare to audio here: • Ed Bickert & Rob McCon...
Ed is boosted here actually higher than I'd really want to hear him, just as an example of how a simple stereo duet recording like this can be tweaked pretty easily in the Audacity software program, if you want to recalibrate the relative volume of two players. Some of the stereo separation is sacrificed, but if you were transcribing or studying the guitar, it might be useful.

Ed- going garage band here. His punk music phase. Ha. Deliciously weird. Ty.

Ed told interviewer Joe Barth in 2005 that off all the albums he recorded with McConnell (and there were well over 25), this was his personal favorite. His reason was basically because he felt he didn't fall on his face! I personally like him most as a rhythm player when he's floating over a great bassist and drummer, enhancing the groove, but not 100% responsible for it, like his is here. But this album is fun almost in an academic exercise kind of way.
He did some really great work in his duets with Rosemary Clooney where he is the only instrumentalist. On a ballad, he doesn't need any other instruments with him to make magic.
