Vocal hit

You would NOT believe how much fun my new vocal processor is! Last Friday night I took it over to Dave's for the Friday night jam. Richard, our drummer, has always wanted to do background vocals (harmony, call/response, etc.) but was a bit shy. Once he expressed this desire I started bringing a mic and boom stand. It was a bit awkward as it had to be sufficiently off to the side so that he didn't hit it while playing. Then he showed up one night with a headset mic and that worked much better for him. Even though really wanted to, he was still just a bit shy about his voice.


Well, all that changed when I showed up with the vocal processor. Not only did he love it, but Larry (lead guitar) and Dave (rhythm guitar) liked the harmony effects it did. Between every song (and I do mean EVERY song) they kept asking him to use it in silly ways. Like "Say 'Muhahaha...' ", "sing like a girl" and the likes. What a kick!


Then the following Monday was my turn. I took it down to Sparks Music and used it to back up Marguerite, our lead singer. Again, this really blew everybody's mind. After our session they all took turns talking and singing into the mic, laughing their butts off the whole time!


Next on the agenda: Digitech Vocalist Live for Dave. Then, maybe, he'll actually sing! Hahaha...
