Thats like 20 miles away from me. And you remember it fondly? Maybe you didn't live here during the winters.....
But this year's winter is pretty nice.

My grandparents had a summer place there - just a lot of small bedrooms, a big kitchen, and mostly outdoor plumbing. This was back in the 40's. Hudson Lake consisted of a combination gas station/post office/ grocery store in the center of town, and then later, a hardware store moved in down the road. Except for the big casino/dance hall down by the lake, that was the whole town.
Wild strawberries and cherry tomatoes grew by the side of the railroad tracks. The old man who lived next door to us had a peach orchard and an old Gibson harp guitar. We'd sit out on a big screened porch at night, listening to the frogs and watching the fireflies. Mint julips grew all around the house, and it always smelled pretty nice there.
Sometimes, we'd go to New Carlisle to watch a movie in a big outdoor lot, where the man ran the projector from the back of his pickup truck.
Thinking back, it was about as close as you could get to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. No one locked their doors, you knew the names of all the people in town, and nobody's dog ever growled at you when you walked by.
Only trouble I ever got into was when I found a stick of dynamite under the front porch and dug a hole in the back yard and lit it, thinking it was a big ol' firecracker. Made a really nice hole, and nobody was really too mad at me, they were just glad I didn't get hurt.
As I said, I have fond memories of the place.

Harvey, you somehow made me nostalgic for a time and place that I've never experienced. You should write nice little country side type poems...
I guess my experiences in Indiana are a bit different, since I just go to school here. And I'm from Florida, so I hate the cold.

Loud vocals mics and techniques??
Glad you are feeling better Harvey...
I asked the question below while you either had sciatica or the flu...either way you weren't feeling well. It's more of an application question but if you can help it would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks, zip >>
"I already break up soft and loud passages into different performances - moving the mic in close (4 to 6 inches) on soft passages and far (12 or more inches) for louder passages. I use a AT4033 condenser with the pad on and set the position as you suggest - forehead high aiming slightly down to the nose - screened with a pop screen. I run through an outboard compressor at a 3:1 ratio and set the threshold to compress only during these loud spots...
My question is this...for these really loud passages can you suggest different mics / placement techniques which may help me control these dynamics and get a better sound without as much danger of overs??
I'm a trained vocalist so I'm pretty consistent...I just have a damn loud voice. I always wondered why some people stare at me during concerts... "
