[REMASTERED version here for D/Ling anew: https://soundcloud.com/kat330repost/catch-the-wind-remaster
This Donovan classic became part of my early repertoire less than a year after it arrived in the U.S. In this version I've overdubbed some harmony, and I've added bits of kantele, melodica and electric guitar bottom-strings strumming to my original acoustic guitar picking. At the third verse I've also added some percussive plucking sounds of the strings high up between the bridge and bridge pickup on the electric. I found it sort of simulates the sound of light wooden wind chimes.
The best things about self-recording and being the sole instrumentalist and vocalist are: 1) Everyone arrives on time and is ready whenever I am, and 2) We all have the same vision and never disagree about what direction to take -- well, rarely anyway. That noted I am taking a breather, however, from all my recording, at least from the pace of nearly a new one each week. Probably it will pick up again whenever the weather makes leaving the comfort of indoors less appealing.
