This is a little throwback jam using my hillbilly white trash style that I have an affection for. I have a real love for some of the instruments you see in this video. The mandolin is 120 years old and was a gift from my father. The banjo was made in Montreal (my town) and is around a 100 years old. The ukulele is made of plastic and you can get the same one for 30$. The difference in the sound is that I use metal strings instead of the usual nylon strings. The guitar is not really good but I have carried this one around for 25 years and there is a story behind it, but that's for another time. Have a listen to my jam from the bayou.

I'm a big fan of mini wireless mics because I realized with time how to use them for recording acoustic instruments and they are small (yes) they are wireless (double yes) and the range of frequencies they pick up actually quite impressive compared to other types of mics I use everyday (don't doubt, it's true). This session was a bit of a mic test where I decided to use only a pair of them for the recording. On each instrument you can see the pair of wireless mics taped down.

The concept of this video is pretty simple, you see the instrument that you hear at the moment of the actual recording.
