Michael Hedges called this song Baal T Shuva as a celebration of his guitar's return. The term Baal T'Shuva is used where a jewish person returns to their religion having gone 'wayward'. Hedges guitar (a Ken duBourg)was stolen at a concert and was handed back to him many years later with a broken neck. Hedges had the guitar repaired and was an inspiration for him.
Thank you to whomever posted the comment about Michael Hedges' inspiration for the work. I hope you enjoyed my violin addition to his piece. I wish he was still here to play for us. - Kevan
Sorry if this comment came through more than once... I cannot get the link to work to hear your remix of Baal T'Shuva. Please send me a new link or fix page if it is broken, as I would love to hear your rendition of it!!!
I'm so glad you are interested in listening to this song. I have this song stored on a Yahoo account site - sometimes I can't reach this site either. I just played it OK, but I will still place the song at a different location and send you another link. It's a short song - but one of my projects is to write violin parts for all of Michael's songs from a couple of his albums that I listen to all of time.
For JS54inMO: I couldn't find your email address, so I hope you get the message that I posted another link to the Baal T'Shuva remix via Viddler website posting today. Hope you find this OK. - Kevan
That was great! Your violin contribution was very lively and fit nicely! I felt that the percussion was perhaps just a tad too loud... or maybe a tiny finger cymbal would be enough... or a cabaca or sandpaper blocks. I hope you post more remixes with your violin accompaniment! And thank you for letting me know about your new link.
Your observations were noted. I re-mixed the recording with less volume on the shaker, fixed some note discrepancies on the violin and balanced the violin with the guitar better. I like the new version more - re-posted new version on a new blog entry. -Kevan

I would love to hear this remix of yours, but can't get the link to work. Is there another link I could try?
in case you would like to email me a response instead of publishing my comment and responding to it, here is my address attached.
