Very nice. I think I mentioned it before that your music would be perfect for a travelog type TV show.

RexRed
pop rap? whatever, I really like it.
voc needs maybe reverb esp to emphasize certain words

Freddy
Lots of interesting things going on in the background. Not sure if you'd call it hypnotic but it had me tapping my toes. So is that really a can of Spam that somehow became a guitar?

Wow, thanks everyone!
Freddy, yeah I get a bit misty eyed sometimes about what was and what could have been.
John B, I wasn't aware of the 60s song you mentioned but I just did a google search and found out the other title is Turn Around. I don't remember how that song goes, but obviously the main lyrics stuck with me.

I went ahead and bought Indiginus the Steel, so now I have Impact Soundworks pedal steel and also somewhere around here is Wavelore which, like Glyn, I never could get my head around. The IS pedal is nice but Indiginus sounds pretty darn good and is dead easy to use.

Ooooh noooo.  I just bought Steel Pedal from Impact Soundworks (for 3x as much.) 

Monsieur Le Bat scores again with a professional level song that compares well with just about any famous rock group I can think of.

John
Love the synth arps and glissandos. Kinda hypnotic after a while which is a good thing. Nice transition 2:15 to the guitar.
I think the song is perfect for staring at screen saver animations while you're in the right frame of mind.?

I bought Serum a little while ago but haven't used it much. Bit too daunting at the moment.

I've used that scale to get an eerie Spanish type sound. Really nice touch on the guitar there Rik.

Where are you going my little one?

This is for those kids who never had a chance for a normal childhood because of some tragic circumstance they had to live through.

I tried to bring my vocal track more upfront b/c of comments on previous songs and maybe now it's too much upfront?

my singing does not suck, my singing does not suck, nope nope nope

Rik
Very cool indeed. Great job!

douglas
that's a really nice guitar groove going on in the background.  really makes the song.
your music is so melodic which is a big plus in my book.

John
You pour your soul into your lyrics that's for sure.
Have to say though and in all honesty your music is really good. 

Freddy
Don't know where you get your cover photos but they're always right on topic. Unless you write the song after seeing the picture?
Anyway, another fun Freddy J blues song. Always impressed by your playing.

Larry
One of my favorite PF songs and man you did a great job on it. And not just the performance (great!) but also the mixing and mastering, that stuff. I'm super impressed.

Wookie
Nice choice of synths over the filter sweeps. Sounds like you had a fun improv session.

Grem
I can really appreciate what a great job you did here because I tried playing along to the backing track myself. Me - not so good. You - fantastic.

Jesse
I like this peanut butter song better than the other peanut butter song.

At the risk of totally embarrassing myself I'm posting this slide show/video.  

Back in the 1950's when everything was in black and white and analog, my father made an audio tape of my brother and me singing a couple of songs. I cleaned up the tape noise and then chopped up the audio into short phrases, then arranged them to make them fit the background music I wrote. Might be obvious in a couple of places. All done in Cakewalk.

Nowadays your entire life has been recorded from your very first day on earth, but back then it was pretty rare to have an audio recording of yourself. Have to say that my singing talents have gone downhill since then.

Audio in CbB
Video in Vegas Pro.

What Gary said above.  Very expressive playing. I'm always amazed what you guitar guys can do.

Gary
I was pretty sure you were overcome with genuine emotion while singing. Good decision to keep those parts in instead of re-doing them.

Paul
I like the voc and the lyrics very much. The guitar accompaniment is great. Good job!

RexRed
I think I commented on the "vintage" sound of one of your previous songs and this one also has that nice 50s or 60s feel to it. You know, back when music was good. Interesting that you manually adjusted the levels of each voc syllable - hey I'm not the only one :-). Enjoyed the song and have to say your singing is ready for prime time.
