Mi Contra Fa

O Come, My Sweetest Lover

This never got posted as a finished product?

O come, my sweetest lover
And ah and oh
What pleasures we'll discover
And ah and oh and ah and oh

I'm dying with desire
And ah and oh
To love-making I aspire
And ah and oh and ah and oh

So with your key come swiftly
And ah and oh
My door will open quickly
And ah and oh and ah and oh

Bertran de Born Podcast

From the grey mists of time, Bertran de Born's "Be'm plai lo gais de pascor" emerges!  You've seen the documentation and possible struggled with the poorly-notated sheet music (PDF)!  Now hear the song!

Gah, I never realized how bad I am at aligning words and notes until I went back and tried to sing this from the page.

More good news - my computer records again!  Granted, I'm using a gaming headset to sing into, which results in some static if I'm too loud (which I frequently am).  But!  Now I can record audio more often.  Upgrading mic can be a future project.

Ouch. The temptation to do a dozen takes is there, but life does not permit. Here it is, blemishes and all.
