Sitar

I
have a Sitar song called "Celebration" (track 5) that I
recorded in one take. The backing tracks were in place
and I carefully had a mic placed near the Sitar as I sat on the
floor. Having a few friends in the room made me want to do my
best, and as a result (thanks to them), I was able to get into
it & play it in one take. BTW, it was all improvised except for
the choruses.
