Whatever you did with the mic it worked.
Great tone across the board. That is a great sounding guitar. Sometimes those unknown ones are the best.
WEhat mic are you using?
Oh, and keep em coming.

| Very nice playing, Steinar! By the way, your "unidentified" guitar looks very much like a late '50s Harmony "Monterey" model. |

Thanks guys! 
Gary, the mic is a cheap (almost "toy mic" price) condenser mic that's just been introduced here. It's made in China and cost approx $130 here (that is ridiculously cheap for a condenser mic here), I think I'll order one more of these so I have a stereo pair.
It's called TSM MT87S and looks like this:
Donny, I bought the archtop from a guy in England for about $150 on eBay, he said he believed it was from Germany, but who knows..
It's a small, almost parlor sized body, and it has a great crisp sound. I love this guitar, it's the one I pick up when I sit and play on the couch..
It needed to have some work done to the bridge, but besides that it's in very good condition. Has a huge fat baseball bat neck with no truss rod.

Steinar, this is beautiful. It's going on my iPod whether it "should" be considered a tune or not! It doesn't need much more to be developed into a tune or an interlude. The Imin to bVIMaj is such an enchanting harmonic motion too, I could listen to that for at least another ten minutes.

Steinar, I handed the headphones to my wife and she just said: "Can you play it again?". (Edit: Now she's listening to it for the third time and says "It's really great!").
Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of music!

| Beuatiful tune, Steinar. I saw on the Lazy River web site that Rance was building a tear drop model. Have to put that on my guitar wish list! |

| I must have played this 4 or 5 times with headphones on, while staring out into a foggy morning. Very nice! Thanks for posting it. |

| Lovely Steinar! It fits perfectly with our Sunday afternoon of heavy rain and the warmth inside our home. How about some more demos from 3 AM, 4 AM, 6AM... keep 'em comin'! |

Yeah, and I could call my next CD "Around the Clock in a Day"......  
Thanks for all your positive comments guys!
I think I'll start working on that next CD of mine now...

| Nice, sweet-sounding, uncluttered pickup--I had a Harmony Monterey in the '50's with a pickup on it, it was a good guitar for the money. |
