Thanks midnight, was too busy last night to upload it, and by the time I got it done I saw a couple of the songs were already posted as vids, but figured I'd post anyway since it includes the first two songs which I didn't see posted yet. They had a really lousy sound system, if you could even call it that. I also have her sound check audio prior to the gig. I'll upload that as well if anyone is interested.

It's difficult to get any kind of sound quality by using either a handheld recorder or a small video recorder usually it's done this way everything runs through a mixer the audio and then from there it gets digitally reproduced or burned on a CD. So all you're doing is just picking up all the background noise the chatter the static and don't forget low frequencies. Those are the worst to try to make something decent out of them. Those are the bass tones anything with low impedance they just don't reproduce well on recorder small one or a video camera.

Okay lesson number Two lol I think I told Tusk this ,and that is if you are using a video recorder that has room for a external microphone purchase a small shotgun microphone. There are long and very narrow and you've probably seen those mounted on a small video camera. Keep it low to medium impedance. They help to filter all the noise thats not acceptable Bla Bla bla . Anyway thanks for \ the audio sound of the Hales, when I get out to CA we can go to a Hales concert I will bring some of my Vid gear and we will keep this form up to speed visually and sound wise. No joke Peace out

“The Christmas Song” has been performed by every major artist out there from all walks of music including its writer, Mel Torme’. It must be daunting for a performer to sing this song or any famous song because inevitably that singer will be compared to the previous ‘Big Name(s)” that sang it.

I find myself comparing the same songs between artists to see which one I like best. I also make comparisons to Haley. I’m hesitant for fear she won’t meet my internal hype sort of speak. This song is the perfect choice for me to make the following comparison. I have not heard every version of this song from the different artists, but I have heard it from my favorite ones.

The best rendition to me came from my all-time favorite artist, Natalie Cole. Natalie Cole touches my jazz soul as no other artist prior to Haley. I never thought I would experience another artist that would affect me to this level until Haley. So what did I do, I listened to both versions of “The Christmas Song” and you know what? Haley just confirmed what I already knew. Her version to me is better, although very close.

Haley’s choice of tone, tempo and inflection of notes is perfect. But above all she pours so much emotion into it as with all of her songs that I feel the song right with her. I also made the same comparison last year with “Baby, Its Cold Outside” where Natalie Cole duets with James Taylor and I had exactly the same sentiments.

This is probably the wrong place to post this topic, but I had to express myself. She just has to do a Christmas album.

XM Holly keeps playing the Rod Stewart/ Dolly Parton version of BICO and it really annoys me because it seems these two are doing solo performances that are spliced together with no interaction.
