    The quality of this is extraordinary. Not just in how well you each performed, but also how well what appears to be a single microphone captured all of this while playing outdoors. It almost sounds like it could have been professionally mixed as each part is perfectly balanced. I am very impressed.
    And it sure looked like it was a lot of fun. :)
