Plus you can write a blues song.
Now there's an idea... 🤔
When I woke up this morning,
And looked down at the floor...
Oh yes, there's definitely mileage in this! 😂

Measuring up my small upstairs (and cramped) home studio for re-decorating and new furniture, I noticed a bit of laminate floor lifting.
Fast forward an hour or so, I've stripped everything out, dismantled the desk and lifted the flooring, only to find a rad valve has had a slow leak for what must have been weeks. 🙈
I've lifted and dried the laminate and luckily the underlay has saved the floorboards. Plumber coming next week to assess the damage and hopefully fix (my DiY is not bad but I don't do plumbing - much too messy if it goes wrong).
Ah well, guess I won't be making any music for few weeks.
At least it was caught in good time. So the moral is, do look down every once in a while to make sure your feet are still dry. 😂

Good job on this Keith, enjoyed it.
I never knew Hotlegs became 10cc and I was a massive 10cc fan. How Dare You is still one of the finest albums ever recorded IMHO.

Just got around to another listen to the final mix, wow it really pops now - from shades of grey to full Kodachrome - latest version is great
Great job 👍

I like the slightly dark undertone and the arrangement, my only minor crit is I am not a huge fan of the instrument at around 2:30 (is it a pad)? It just seemed a little out of place with being such a high register, but this is just a matter of taste and doesn't mean you should change it.
Overall really nice job.

Happy New Year Peter.
Beautiful vocal and great guitar work. Mix sounds really well-balanced to me and works very well. Love the build at the end of the bridge and the sax solo - very retro.
Great stuff.

Got to be the best celebration of the Am chord I ever heard.
Happy New Year to all!

I enjoyed this, very much of its time - both lyrically and musically. Could it be enhanced and improved with a few tweaks here and there - probably. Should you go there or leave it as it is - debatable?
It is all panned fairly centrally to my ears, so some separation might help, as would a double-tracked and panned rhythm guitar track, but don't duplicate the existing one; record another take and pan them.
Or leave it as is and call it done - your call.
Nice job either way.

Just hope the chainsaw has a sharp blade. 😜😎
I've got a pole saw in the shed - brand new chain and freshly oiled - just let me know if I need to pop over... 😂

@craigb I will try, but the WiFi is crap in my bit of the hospital, and it won't let me login to the hospital WiFi.
Welcome to NHS IT - having audited plenty of that in a past life I'm surprised you're not still on a dial-up connection; ISDN if you're lucky. 😂
Keep your spirits up - you're in great hands - as a heart surgeon I used to play cricket with once told me, it's just a bit of plumbing...
ATB for the op and I'm sure you'll be fine and ace the recovery.

I upgraded a non compliant i7 7700 that has a TPM a year or more back and it's been running like dream ever since. Can't remember the method I used now - might have been the reg hack - but install was a cinch. I also get the Win 11 updates - despite being 'unsupported' - more Microshaft scaremongering I'm glad I took no notice of.
Just back everything up first - including a full export of your registry.

Ah that explains it, those Taylors are sweet guitars. I used to have a 314CE but I traded it for a T5z. The latter is a lovely instrument - and definitely more versatile - but it can't reproduce that sweet acoustic tone I used to get from the 314. The T5z body sensor pickup amplifies way too much string squeak for my taste, so I rarely use that setting.
Thanks for the extra details - always helps to understand the process a little.

Nice work - enjoyed it - harmonies work well and I like the tempo/ mood changes.

Wow - acoustic chops as well - I like the guitar tone a lot. Is that a 12-string my ears can detect or is it just the multi tracking confusing my brain (it doesn't take much these days). 😂
Nice ending too - very classy - I like. 👍

All the best for a swift and full recovery Wookiee - look forward to seeing you back soon.

Wow Mark, that's one tough song to cover. I remember when this was first released, it was like nothing else around at the time and I've always really liked it.
I think you nailed it, the percussion and guitar work is top notch and the backing vocals work really well. No crits on the lead vocal for me - I'm super impressed.

I'm going to respectfully disagree ever so slightly with @Jim Fogle (although his comments are most definitely valid). I quite like the long intro and I also like the long pauses between phrases - but - I think it needs to build and get busier as the song progresses; then you can row it back again at the end.
But hey Rex, if I could write, perform and produce a song to even ten percent of this calibre I'd be over the moon.
It's a beautiful piece of work.
Merry Christmas
