I walked up on the Lotus Dancers at the 2005 Nebraska Renaissance Faire during the last two minutes of their performance and made this recording.
I stood next to the drummers to get the best sound. The mic also picked up an accompanying flutist and the bells and castanetes used by the troop.
Note that my microphone cable malfunctioned and the resulting recording is not in stereo.
Musican Reggie Greenlaw played the hammered dulcimer, a percussively played stringed instrument at the 2005 Nebraska Renaissance Faire.
Mr. Greenlaw was very open to allowing me to record him play Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring by J. S. Bach, and afterward, talked a few minutes about his own experiences with digital recording. He also talked a little about the mechanics and qualities of his instrument, and how this ancient instrument has changed to make use of modern engineering and materials.
If you like Mr. Greenlaw’s music, please contact him at reggreenlaw@aol.com and order a CD.
Note that my mic cable malfunctioned during this recording, and as a result, the recording is not in stereo.
