What makes this song a classic? Is it the timeless lyrics? The driving guitar groove? The off-beat drums? Or the slinky bass (that Rob added back at home on the Fostex 4-track ...analog baby!)? It's all of the above. This was a crowd pleaser, and believe you me it got crowded at the U-Guys gigs .. that happens when your New Years Eve show is from the kitchenette of a basement apartment. Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!

Bach Cello Suite Prelude in D - Hiss Cleaning Example with Roxio
Here is the story on this 'lil Bach cello diddy: I took classical guitar lessons for a year when I was 19-ish in 1985 .. my only formal music training. This Bach prelude was my crowning achievement and I played for anyone who would listen .. one guy up Pickering Street, Dave, really liked it and borrowed the sheet music - but never gave it back! It had all my fingering notation on it and by the time I finished university without practicing it was lost except for the first bars.
Then along came - da da dah !!! - the internet, yes that world webbed infotainment highway ! So about 2008, 23 years later I look it up and there she was, tabbed in all her glory and a multitude of youtube versions (a lot better than mine!). So I re-learned after forgetting it for more than 20 years. Yay me !
The first version here has a lot of hiss coming into my HP Media Centre PC. The second has the clean-up in Roxio. What a difference - too bad it can fill in those missed and mucked-up notes and timing !
FYI - this is the same Darryl Williams handmade classical I originally learned this on. Musical instruments are such a great investment.
