INTRO:

This piece of history is actually somehow a miracle
A friend from the UK came as usual for one of the Moedim (Biblical holidays) to Jerusalem.´
He is an amazing musician and songwriter – very simple songs but deep lyrics.
Now:
It was the last day, a few hours before his departure back to the UK
Well, he was a bit tired

Another brother mentioned if he would be willing to do some recordings
By that time I had my tiny studio stuff there
We arranged to get some microphones because I did not had any with me.

However, he agreed to play/ let us record a bunch of songs.

What is the miracle on that?
Surely the recording stuff I had there only because I was in transition.
but the greater miracle:
That apartment in Nachlaot was everything than quiet.
Though there was usually not too much traffic on that small road,
but constantly people passing, yelling around and a childrens playground just nearby.
The apartment everythind but noise proof.

Anyway, we did the recordings.
Though he was tired he were singing all the songs at once.
I guess only once he stopped very much at the beginning of one song.

The miracle: for one hour there was no noise outside
And this was not on a Shabat but in the middle on the week late afternoon.
The shuk (market) is just around the corner and all kind of possible noises.
But nope, nothing

The mix I did on cheap 10 or 20$ computer speakers.

But regardless of the imperfect mix, listen to the lyrics, just beautiful.

The images below are the print for the CD cover, which was a Digibook.
So the 3rd part on the right side is finally the front page.
The colors of the images below appear a bit unnatural. But this is because the color profile are CMYK for print and not RGB for screen.
