| "Look So Good" David Lindley (Cover) - Weissenborn |
 |
Hi Folks,
Well after having recorded some of my tunes,
it's time to tell about my "Masters" and to
try to record my favorite tunes for lap steel
guitar.
The one and first that made me crazy about
this instrument was discovered (by me) in the
music of a beautiful film that took place in
America, directed by a German, I mean "Paris
Texas" of Wim Wenders. The music was composed
by Ry Cooder, and his side man, was the guy
playing the steel guitar:
Mister David LINDLEY
So this tune wasn't a part of "Paris Texas"
OST. But it's for me one of the most
beautiful song ever written for slide Guitar.
I've try to record it tonight, it's far from
perfect, but if you didn't know David
Lindley, may be have I done good.
So this tune was recorded on "Win This
Record" one of his albums. If you like it go
to hear the original version(far far better
from my poor one). You have to know that he
is a multi-instruments player (guitar,
violin, bouzouki, lap steel, weissenborn...),
and a wonderful guy.
So to know more you can also go to his
website:
http://www.davidlindley.com/
There you can discover more, even about him
touring may be next door to you ;-).
Thanks for watching my videoclips. Well, I
have to say that I will re record this
beautiful tune because I've done some wrong
notes (Shame on me!!!) and hope to do a
better work next time :-)
Thanks to all my Friends all over the world,
it's a great pleasure to talk with you guys
(Laurie, Tristan, Paul, Loretta, Karen, Mel,
Casey, and all others...) I'm glad to get
news from you and to meet people like you,
is the "body of evidence" that there are
still good human beings on this planet :-)
Thank you to you all, and also to new comers
or the shy people who don't dare to talk,
remember, the longest journey always begin
with a first step...
Cheers from Paris France!!!
And remember "Take Care And Have Fun"
Chris
P.S: A SPECIAL THANKS TO MY NEW ZEALAND
FRIEND TONY "GOLDEN HANDS BORN" FRANCIS, THE
FATHER OF MY GORGEOUS STYLE ONE WEISSENBORN
:-)

| "Grimasch om morgonen" - Cornelis Vreeswijk on Weissenborn |
 |
http://fredkinbom.com
Here is a little lap steel arrangement of the
song "Grimasch om morgonen" by the late
Swedish genius Cornelis Vreeswijk. I wanted
to make a little video showcasing the sound
of my new "delrin" tone bar from Tribo-Tone,
thought it'd be nice to do a Cornelis
Vreeswijk song, and this is what I came up
with. Played on my Lazy River
Weissenborn-style guitar in G-minor tuning
(but tuned down a bit lower than G).
This new tone bar is really quiet (as in
noise-free) on the strings. I realised when
watching the video that I make some sliding
noises on the strings with my hand, but I
hope the sound of the bar comes across
anyway! ;-)
As most of you probably don't understand
Swedish, I will make a literal translation of
this beautiful lyric by this Dutch-born
master of the Swedish language:
"Now dew falls and sun rises
But you can't hear that
You're lying here without blouse and skirt
With your lips against my ear
'Speak seriously now' you say, determined,
'You're laughing songs and singing jokes'
'You can - but you don't want to - make a
song about the fragile happiness'
Now sun rises and dew falls
For poor people and for the rich
But happiness has a poisonous thorn
That one ought to carefully avoid
She stays willingly for a few days
But when you want to keep her
Her eyes turn ice cold
And you become bitter as bile
So the dew falls without sound
And grass and leaves become wet
And each morning the sun stands as bride
Although no wedding hymns are sounding
Ann-Katarin, you should know that
There is a happiness that dies from laughter
But it wants to caress at night
And it is still as water
Step out of the bed, Ann-Katarin
And listen to something important
There is a special kind of fine wine
That one must enjoy with caution
Because if one drinks it recklessly
It loses its former shine
And you're left with an empty bottle
And bitter tears and ashes."
The Swedish original is very poetic - the
above is just a translation of the literal
meaning of the lyric.
Sorry that the image quality is a bit poor!
