A few weeks ago Don Mason posted a link to "Mary Did You Know" which is among the most beautiful songs I've heard in years. I wasn't sure if I could perform it at all, let alone make it sound reasonably good. The first time I performed it for an audience I was scared to death that I would blow it - big time. I was wrong. My wife and daughter love my rendition, and my audiences have been quite positive in their response. These are the kind of things that have kept me going for these many decades.

I did the following recording using the S-950s onboard Audio Recorder, the Crown CM-311A headset mic, and the Movie Ballad Style. I look forward to any and all constructive criticism from the good folks on this forum.

Good job Gary, love the style. It is going over well for my audiences too.

Very nice.

Bravo!

Very nice Gary!
What style did you use?? It fit perfectly.
Thanks,
Lee

Gary...Gary....Gary!!!

Great recording...I thought that was the best S950 recording I have heard on SZ..

A suggestion.... I never played this, but listening to your arrangement....I wanted to hear a passing tone, or build up chord progression in a couple spots..maybe a more complex chord or voicing....and I think it would have been interesting with a modulation before closing out the song..

You may want to try these changes..see if it works for you...

That was a great rendition Gary.

Gary, beautifully fitting 'Movie Ballad' Style & superb vocals by you . . .
Convincingly believable story telling which imo is the key to a fine singer.
Merry Christmas. - Scott

Good job, Gar ...
