Hi Bluey. I'm so exhausted, I almost signed in using your username! So please have a little pity on my laziness: I'm not going to go research these out. BUT I have to say, these last 4 songs of Dan's that you uploaded are very good. Granted, I've only listened to each one once and I'm real fuzzy-headed. But, musically-speaking and lyrically-speaking, they are very good. I can't catch all the lyrics, either because the enunciation wasn't clear in the first place, or because the recordings are well-used. Also, there's a LOT of treble in the instrumentation and perhaps scratchiness in the recording. I don't like a lot of treble. Also don't want to hear strings in folk music or rock music. Sorry George Martin. I want to hear the "pure" art forms without any "corruption" by classical instruments. I think producer Voyle Gilmore held a hard line with Capitol for the Kingston Trio and I really appreciate that. And yes, I like classical music. Just don't want 'em mixed! I'd like to hear somebody with America's tight-knit harmonies and a more balanced arrangement record these 4 songs. They're good songs. Love those minor chords. The lyrics seem to flow well with the music. There are key changes and bridges that build the songs and don't detract from the flow. Am thinking of some of Dan's "interesting" harmonics in songs such as "Willow Tree Lullaby," and "It's Life." Those songs sound like he was experimenting with some of the different music he heard while living in Pakistan. Did he ever write Christian songs using some of those other scales and harmonics???
