Mario is
a good friend of mine.
He taught me how to play guitar many years ago,
since then we've been playing together from time to time.
A few years ago
we founded ArinGroup, an
italian folk-rock band in Rome, in order to start a recording studio for the
Aringo Club.
However in the early
years we used to cover many songs from our hero, Bob Dylan. Many covers were home-recorded on audio CASSETTEs.
This one
was one of the best, and it was available on a Dylan's covers
website not running anymore: "They All Play On Penny Whistles".
Because
of the vitality of the Bob Dylan's fans net-community, it has been
linked or reported onto many other websites listing Dylan's covers
all over the world.
I don't know if anywhere the original mp3 is really
available, so i make it available here, for those who may search it on the
net.
It was recorded
in 1985 by a simple Pioneer hi-fi stereo cassette deck, with one mike
through a LEM mixer featuring an ECHO TAPE system (!).
As far as I remember we both played Fender Stratocaster
guitars; mine was stereo-arranged through
flanger, compressor and delay.
Mario's guitar is effected by overdrive
and digital delay, and chorus, maybe.
You'll find some errors in the performance,
due to improvisation, but the feeling was very good, certainly for us.
