Midlife Crisis (Life Begins at 40) - With recording preamble

Recording a song of mine (Which I can't really think of what to call), using my new Zoom H4N.
I'm recording my vocals using the Zoom's built in condenser mics and the guitar by using the two inputs on the device. I'm doubling up the guitar by recording directly from the guitar and from the amp with a little reverb via a separate mic.

(Oh, for those of you not in the UK. I mention Radio 3 in the song, this is a national BBC station in the UK devoted to serious classical music, avant-garde jazz and live cricket broadcasts.)

Thanks Merle. I'm hoping life begins at 50 for me.

Sorry Vinyl, I really feel your pain.  Schadenfreude is a helluva thing ;)

Cheers, Turtle, glad to know you could smile at my misfortune. This song isn't meant to be funny, it's a cry for help.

Thanks for this Vinyl, it made smile at the end of a very long, cold week. And I turn 41 tomorrow! The rig sounds great.

Cheers, Steve and Sammy, you're very kind.
