Have you taken this one down John? I went to listen and got Gingers Song.

I respectfully disagree mate. Personally, I find it so easy to be drawn into the standard verse, chorus, verse, chorus, mid 8 etc etc but I love the random nature of this. I'm not saying you'll ever hear this on mainstream radio but, in a world full of band in a box, there is definitely a place for a freeform song like this. Don't ever stop my friend.

You do this so well Jesse - it sounds effortless but you make some great choices. Love the reversed drum 'rolls'

good performance Gary. Reverb sounds good. Vocal needs some bottom end rolled off and brought down in the mix a tad for my taste.

Thanks Steve - I also wondered about the acoustic. Tom can certainly play and sing - his band plays out three times a week EVERY week

Thanks Freddy

Hey Jesse - thanks mate. Only a teeny bit of Mel o'dyne on this one - not like my own vocals that require a truck load. The bass has some slight distortion on it and compressed. The guitar was mic'd through a little vox speaker (old school) and then a unicorn cast a mixing spell on me so I don't remember the rest.

Holy Santana Batman! Spicy noodles

Great song and performances Lynn. Drums/Percussion could use some work imho - I think there's a couple of kick drums that needn't be there and they're muddying the water

Thanks Lynn - you're the best

Very well done Steve - you have a knack of transmitting emotion with your vocal and this one doesn't disappoint.

love it JW - I also agree about the drums - maybe drop them out completely? There's enough rhythm everywhere else in the track to carry it. Love a bit of ragtime.

wowzer Bob - that is a wall of sound! The mix is spot on to my ears

Slinky indeed Freddy - you are king of the slink. Great work on the harp.

excellent work all round - this popped right out of my speakers. The video is also very effective.

all my favourite singers can't sing The mix shows that you don't like the sound of your own voice - up the vocal volume - I can barely hear it. Lyrics and tune are great.

yeehaw! Very well done Gary - not my thang at all but I can appreciate it. I particularly like the squeezebox coming in and out.

Thanks Bob - you da man very kind of you Thanks Gary

Thanks a lot Joad - very kind of you

Hi Folks Here's a track that a very talented friend of mine, Tom Passamonte wrote and recorded at my (small but perfectly formed) studio. He is singing and playing all the guitars, I am on backing vocals, bass, drums etc. I cannot take any credit for the song but he left the production to me.

This is really nice Wookster. Love the synth brass arp that comes in - straight off A Broken Frame by Depeche Mode. Can I suggest a title for the follow up to this one - 'Son of a Beach' ?

Excellent Tom - did I hear the (in)famous baritone in there? Going back for my second listen.

Thanks so much Joad You're the best Bob

This is great. Good job both of you. I'm listening on my phone as I am away from home but will listen again when I get back.

firstly, John, so sorry about your pal Ginger - not sure what I'd do without my best mate Sir Alex. This is really nice John - very tasteful all ways round - and I like the electric piano.....except, it seems to get a bit 'clunky' around the breakdown section (2.26 to 3.06) - and the ending - maybe use a different piano sound (acoustic) just to underline those sections - something that works better in the lower register?
