@DeeringAmps, @Douglas Kirby, @mark skinner, @bjornpdx-Thanks all so much, guys! @emeraldsoul-Thanks so much for your suggestions. I'll take them to heart as coming from a guy who does quite a bit of instrumentals. I prefer the intro as it is. It's an "Artsy Fartsy" kind of thing.😉 Quarantine fun for sure. What else is there to do besides make music? This damned virus is a PITA and an unprecedented intrusion on our freedoms all over the globe. I blame the virus, not the people. May you all stay well. 😀John B

Very nicely presented. As I was watching the video I couldn't help but think of the current situation in the world and how our government leaders are handling it. No doubt there are many "very troubled souls" today. 😀John B

RIP, Kenny. You did a great job, man!! ☹️

Interesting arrangement. This would work well as background music for a documentary on the subject matter of the picture. 😀John B

Another Freddy J goody! The vocal harmonies are my favorite point on this tune. Also love the lead work. Great ending! 😀John B

Thanks, Jess. 😀JB

What's wrong with your vocals here? Sounds fine to me as it is. The song is a goodie, but I'm sorry I don't share your political views. I'm not a Biden fan. (Not knocking you for being one though) 😉 😀John B PS-I agree with Doug K. Send it into JB's campaign. I could imagine them using it. The slogan JOEMENTUM is catchy. 😉

Thanks so much, Paul! 😀JB

Some of my melodies have been criticized as being "too complicated". Maybe they are, but the harder they are to compose the safer they are. At least I know they're mine. 😁John B

So sorry, Mr. t 😄

Thanks t! (Note: Correction) 😀JB

Jessie Screed-The Musical Picasso of the Cakewalk forum (with a little Zappa thrown in for good measure 😉). John B.😀

Very enjoyable song. Your vocals are very strong and have the perfect timbre for a song like this. Love the harmonies and guitar solo. A bit long, but who am I to talk in that category? 😉 😊John B.

I really enjoy the vocal harmonies and the overall feel of the song. 60's kind of groove. Nice! 😊John B

Please forgive me. I took the song down from Soundclick last week due to personal reason. For the benefit of more who might have wanted to chime in I've re posted it. New link is also on OP above. Very sorry. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14002417 😊JB

I'm glad to hear you're feeling OK. I was a bit worried there. 😀John B

So, you can post here and expect feedback but if we want your feedback we have to post on another site. 😲 😲

Once again, I think I've learned something I didn't know before about recording on computers. I've always thought that a buffer could never be too big but I guess I was wrong. My Scarlett 6i6 has been acting up since I updated the drivers in January. It was the first update of it's kind since I bought the unit in April of 2016. I had no issues with it before the update so I blamed the updated drivers and sent a support ticket to Focusrite because I was getting BSODs for different things like Bad Pool Header and other issues. They suggested I download a set of Beta drivers they have on their Beta Testing page, which I did. The default buffer on the new drivers was set to 512. I began hearing clicking like when memory is depleting. When I upped the buffer to 1024 the clicking got even worse, so I fired off another complaint to Focusrite. But I tried something. I turned the buffers down to 192 and the clicking reduced but still gave me a few. I tried going down to 128 and the clicking stopped altogether. I turned on my mic and tried a test vocal track which worked fine and, of course, there was very little latency in the recording. I upgraded my PCs memory from 8 to 16gb last October. It never occurred to me before that I could possibly run the buffers this small with this amount of memory. Am I correct in assuming this or will I run into memory issues if I continue to record this way? 😀John B

@freddy jThanks so much, Freddy! 😊John B.

You should put this and some of your other pieces on a CD collection of therapy music. It would work for others. Very peaceful. 😀John B

Yep. Sounds like 3AM to me for sure. And I know because I'm often awake at that hour. 😀John B

So, that's how it's done now. OK. I stand corrected. Go for it! 😀

@StariseThanks, Star. By "mix glue" you probably mean buss compression. That was the next thing I was going to try. 😀 @Douglas KirbyThanks so much, Doug! 😀

IOW-Needs more cowbell!!😁
