thanks Bill....if it wasn't then it sure was a good job of lip synching!...same goes for Ed Sullivan shows...i never saw any mics on stands or clipped to lapels (they had big lapels back then, lol) but i didnt see any sign of overhead boom mics either...i never had as much success with parabolic or shotgun mics unless i was fairly close to the talent...i suppose the high end ones performed well...that is some fine live singing
first alternative: that surprises me a bit (in that larry was singled out) ...when you record a cover for CD release there is a process but when it comes to youtube i don't know how 'they' will keep up with removing any instances (there could be millions out there) ...CDs are typically released for commerical and/or promo purposes but one still has to pay a fee to the owner of publishing rights...with youtube it's mainly folks just putting themselves out there for non-commercial purposes, no?...larry must have recieved a note explaining the rationale...when i used an unauthorized recording to accompany video, i recieved a note explaining the violation... what do JohnStinson, GordisKing and Kefera think? anyhow, you did a fine version of Softly while it lasted, thanks for the memories
