A Closer Walk With Thee
-
I found these two outstanding, yet contrasting, versions of “A Closer Walk With Thee” and was thinking of placing them in the Non Trumpet Music category, but, although Trumpet is not the main feature, there is enough Trumpet probably to disqualify it. So, here it is in its own category. The first version was recorded in 1970 and the second version in 2011.

That was really cool, Doc. I liked the smooth transition to unmuted near the end. What kind of mute were you using. It sounded somewhat metallic.

@GeorgeB said in A Closer Walk With Thee:

It was on old 1960's vintage Harmon mute on my 1967 Olds Recording with a torn felt on the second valve (you can hear the clicks in the recording). Its fixed and refurbished now!
