Wow. What fun I had last night!
I don't think I've mentioned it, but my Dad is in town. He lives in Indiana, where I grew up, and once in a while they come out here to Utah. If you read my other blog, you know that my uncle just died, so they had to come out for the funeral. Then they're staying here for a couple of weeks to attend the Mormon History Association conference.
But anyway...
He's got this rich baritone voice, and can actually handle a pretty wide range, from Bass to high tenor. So, I suggested he come in and sing a hymn or two into my recording system.
Wow. What fun that was!
We started out with a round, "By the Waters of Babylon" which has long been a family favorite. We doubled the parts, so it sound really rich and thick.
Then he did "Oh Say, What is Truth?", another one of my favorites. But we did the old hymnbook version, which has a much busier bass line than the newer one. Very fun.
And the last thing we did, almost as an afterthought, was "Abide With Me". I really wished we'd had more time to polish that one, 'cause it's really rich.
Anyway. I might post one or two of these tunes up for listen...
