  1. Man this thing grooves. Love the drum sounds and a big me too for the sax. This is a killer song.  (Rattlesnake kicks ***** too, btw.) I miss the days when music like this had regular spins on the radio.

  2. I really like this one, lee. Don't be ashamed of this kind of vibe, they are feel-good tones and everybody needs them once in awhile. Your vocals are stellar, and the ukulele playing is really nice. Got to get me one of those, they seem to be little idea factories right? Really like chorus , nice payoff. I think you have something here and I can't wait to see what develops.

  3. Thanks, mark! I don't remember making a new mix for that song but I'm always fudzing around with stuff so maybe I did! Or maybe the original mix was so bad that even YouTube makes it sound better  :)

    i'm still refining this one,
    for an upcoming album of songs patterned after classic 70's rock tunes...

    i've taken the original arrangements, basic drum grooves and original tempos, of some of my favorite classic 70's rock tunes, and used that as the 'starting point' of a collection of songs i'm working on.

    it's a big experiment for me.

    this song, for example, is patterned after paul mccartney's WINGS song, "Junior's Farm".

    more than half of a 10 song future album, will have this treatment.
    these tunes will be vocal heavy, featuring harmonies and unison singing over guitar stuff.
    tho, the hardest part of writing this one,
    was coming up with modern sounding original rhythm guitar tracks, and not sounding like "juniors farm".
    LOL

    Great song! I can hear the Wings DNA in the chorus for sure, and the synth intro was great, loved it (but not in the biblical sense.)

  5. Thanks, it's always great to hear your feedback!

    A bit late to the party here. Missed it, then caught part of it when I listened to Harlys, took a bit to get back to it.

  6. Thanks, old joad! It's actually an Eastman T486 semi-hollow body guitar. It has P90's which gives it a strat-like tone. I really enjoy playing it. Thanks for listening!

    Nothing wrong with the mix that I can hear.  Especially enjoy the vocal work on this.  You have a unique voice.

    Thank you, john.  In one of the bands I was in my voice was referred to as air raid  siren. I don't think they meant that in a good way.  :)

  8. Well done, great instrumentation and chord progression is wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the bass line, totally mesmerizing. The feel is very much a Steely Dan vibe, and because of that my ear kept wanting to hear more harmonies, but that's not really a fair critique of the song. It's a good one!

  9. Hey, Jesse, another good one, love the sound scape in this, particularly toward the end where the synth sounds like a warbling cry. Yeah, there's superficial comparisons that could be made with Beefheart, but imho much less so with Zappa. You've got your own thing going here, so keep working it.

    Cheers!
