Re: Song For a Winters Night- What the heck is that?
 

Richard has added this thought today:
Hello again!
Had one additional thought on the clicking sound on SFAWN.
I was practicing Red's lead parts on Miguel from the 1971 London BBC DVD you so kindly provided to me, and I noticed the same sound-- not as regular as SFAWN, but there nonetheless.
As you know, I mixed the sound for that show, and I can assure you there was no metronome, click track or the like.
My best guess is that it was Gord's middle fingernail hitting the pick guard. It is a common occurrence, I have experienced it myself.
I have noticed from recent memory that he had a pad of some sort stuck to the pick guard of his D-18. Perhaps it was for that reason.
Have to ask him for the ultimate answer.
