Thanks for listening and commenting, Jack.

This is the first track for my next album. This song was a collaboration between an old school buddy and myself.

Alan is a good friend from our school days where we played together in a band back in the 70's.

Our old school band had a reunion in March this year where we recorded one of our songs. The song was written in 1973.

After the reunion Alan and I decided to start writing together and this song is the result.

Hope you enjoy.

Hi Peter, I am so jealous. My High School band was to get together this year for our 50th anniversary. Sadly our lead guitarist/lean vocalist has dementia and that nixed that plan.

What a wonderful job, the song rocks (in a classic rock way), performances were great and production was stellar.

 

Thanks Bapu!

Sorry to hear about your singer. Really sad.

What a great idea and a great project. You young guys wrote a good song and it aged very well. Sorry for the loss of your friend, I just lost one too. Very fun to know the story and watch your reunion version video. Loved the guitar playing, and it all sounds great.

Thanks for the comments treesha! I'm sorry for your loss.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers!

You were a hell of a sight better than the band I was in at school in 73. You must have had a real blast doing this. Great job.

Thanks Keith! Yes, it was a wonderful experience. It's something that we plan to do again in the future.

Nice Work!  Enjoyed it.  

As others have said.... Nice, Classic feel, but doesn't sound outdated. 

Music has a great feel.   Glad I listened.

Cool one. Hats off to you for actually doing a reunion like that , instead of just writing about it.    Nice ..   mark

Thanks for the comments Mark! It was one of those "if we don't do it now, we'll never do it".

Thanks Andy! It came out better than I expected.

Cheers!

This has been a fun project! Our school band, Ad Astra (formed in 1973 when we were between the ages of 13 and 14 years old) decided to get together and record one of the songs that was written back in 1973. Two of the members now live abroad (Alan in London and John - Paul in New Zealand). As this is the 50th reunion since formation, they both made the effort to come over to South Africa and get together to redo this song.

We'd talked about getting together for a long time but we procrastinated and didn't do anything.

Our wake up call came about when we lost our good friend who joined as our singer due to Covid. This made us decide to make this happen. One never knows what's around the corner.

The version of the song in the intro was recorded live at one of our school concerts back in the 70's.

I have been down for over 2 weeks with Influenza A and am physically and emotionally exhausted.  The beauty of this brought me to tears at times.   Thank you.  Reunions are great!

Wow! Thank you for your comments! I'm really glad that the song had such a great effect on you!

I hope you're feeling much better!

Cheers!

Thanks Mark. Yes, that's the reason we did it. We really don't know if we'll get another chance to do it again.

Real quality feel to this one, so well played and conceived . . . enjoyed it very much, just don't make it another 40 years to play together again !

Thanks noynekker, yes, I don't know if or when it'll ever happen again. Just glad we were able to do it at all.

Thanks Olaf!

That's some nice, chilled out, bluesy playing. Is that a japanese strat - heel truss adjustment?

Thanks Andrew!

No, it's a '61 Reissue Mexican.
