I Wish For You - a belated Christmas tune

Well, I was going to save this til next year. But I played with it a bit tonight and heck, why not. I'm fighting a TV in my "Open Aire Studio", so apologies. I wrote this back around the 15th of December and was hoping to get it on for the GFB&B Xmas Radio but never got back to it. In the meantime, it's a tad long and I'll be a-cutting a bit out and obviously working the guitars. This is pretty much a straight take, three tracks, nothing special.

Although, while working the mix, for those who may be interested, I was trying to find a way to give my guitar a crisp wintery tone in the mix. These are all mic'd acoustics, no modeling going on. I made one track of a guitar and then duplicated the track giving me two idenicle tracks. I took the second track and compressor'd the bejeebers out of it. So 1 track normal and 1 track with serious compression. The other simple trick I did, was cross mics on that track. Using two mic's and basically crossed them. One at the 12th fret and the other at the bridge. I then panned each one hard in the opposite direction. Just trying to find some body in my guitar. Anyway, nuff said....

Again this is just a practice type recording to work out the bugs. We'll see what happens for next year.
