pcode I like the high-tech arps in the circuits kind of transforming to something intelligent when the violin comes in. Well that's my interpretation anyway. The first few notes sounded a bit like a slow Bolero but that's probably just me. Very well done!

Steve Great to put a face to your voice. I don't have the guts to do that yet. You always manage to squeeze out every bit of emotion behind the lyrics by way of your distinctive voice and timing. There were a couple of spots where the voc got a bit drowned out for example ~ 0:56 but no biggie. Always look forward to hear your stuff.

The title says it all. Very well done. The song gets a bit predictable until 2:05 where you have a nice breakout. Great guitar playing. I'd suggest bumping up the tempo a few bpm.

Freddy I like the bendy Jingle Bell Rock at the beginning and your playing throughout the song. Very nice. Never thought I'd hear "airborne spread" in a song. Hope next Xmas will be back to normal! Great shark video. I got a little concerned about those kayakers.

Philip One of those songs where you discover something new with every listen. I really enjoyed this. That is a distorted drum sound for sure. Somehow it doesn't distract from the vocal. I like the different styles while keeping the same theme. Cool piano accompaniment to the voc. Singer reminds me of Kate Bush. Great job.

It's sort of a Thanksgiving tradition at a lot of radio stations to play the song. Or so I thought.

Day Dreaming Afternoon I was going for a Celtic sound but it veered off a bit. I used only these 5 notes: A C D E F# I looked it up and it's an Am6 Pentatonic Scale which sounds Celtic to me. Not much structure to this. If you play every instrument in the same scale you can't go wrong. I really like BolderSounds Violin 2 because the articulations sound good and they're pretty easy to do. Ample Guitar Bolder Sounds Violin 2 Indiginus Renaxxance Precision Sound Cletic Whistle RealGuitar Classic EastWest Voices of Passion (Bulgaria) Thanks for listening/comments.

Every Thanksgiving without fail. In Portland OR on radio station KINK at noon and 5pm (I think). Also YouTube.

Hey Kenny Not familiar with Betty (with a y) Davis. Cool how you were able to lift bits of her voice and insert them into your project, more for the dramatic effect as you said. As always I did enjoy your guitar playing, like how could you not? And I just wanted to comment that I was moved by the story upstairs of the new best friend in your life. Glad that worked out for you.

Wookster Reminds me a bit of Jarre's Oxygene. You have an arsenal of synths and you certainly know how to use them! Hearing this I'm now thinking of getting Monoment Bass. Sounds great. I've been to Stub Stewart Park for star photography. Would have been cool to have this playing in the background. -Bjorn

Realivox Ladies is $199.95 which I think is a sale price. I'm considering it. https://realitone.com/products/realivoxladies They're good about refunds. I bought their Realidrums a while ago. I didn't like it and asked for a refund, which I got a day later.

I have the Essential version and it's excellent (and on sale for $89). Been waiting for the full version to go on sale, so I'm marking my calendar for this one. Thanks Larry!

Jesse Some interesting sounds you have in there. The outro might be a bit longish. I get the Am and Alembic references, but the "Q"? Say it ain't so.

Lynn Pretty much what Doug said ^^^^^^ Your voc always shines through the mix. Well done!

Doug Just excellent guitar, the arrangement and playing. Your voc sounded a little different to me, maybe because of your new mic? Sounds really good. I noticed the free download icon on your site which makes me shake my head. So many musicians like you make better music than what's currently popular but never get heard beyond forums like this. Hope I'm wrong.

Not sure about the panning at the beginning but love the funkishness throughout. The cello gives the song a whole new dimension which actually worked quite well. Almost expected some opera singing in there too ☺️ Very well done.

Guy Mitchelmore - I've seen a few of his videos. I like his enthusiasm and sense of humor like the brief green screen showing. Your score fits the action very well. It has that Superman sound to it. I thought that was Mt Hood which I see nearly everyday when it's not raining.

Introducing Generation Electric Guitar https://indiginus.com/generation.html Introductory Price $49 Our goal with Generation was to capture the sound and spirit of an American classic electric guitar, the Fender Stratocaster™. Equally at home in rock, funk, jazz, country, pop and countless other styles, it’s versatility has been the secret of it’s over 60 years of prominence. We sampled all three pickups simultaneously and direct, so all 5 pickup positions (with the two ‘in between’ positions) stay in phase as you select them. Requires Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher. Full version. And I can't believe I beat Larry for once.

Kenny, I listened to them all and enjoyed them all but I esp liked Talking Tele. Your playing is really good, but more than that is how expressive you make it sound. Your feelings come through loud and clear and that's a beautiful thing. -Bjorn

The way country music should still sound like. You have all the elements in place esp your vocal. I appreciated the clarity of the lyrics - made it easy to appreciate them. Great job!

You guys are really good. Great video, pretty cool watching you guys play together. Not being much of a guitar player myself, I don't know what a Kemper is and I always wonder how come the lead guitar player never needs a score sheet? ☺️

Doug, The usual good instrumentation and production work, but this is one of the few songs of yours that doesn't quite work (for me anyway.) The spacing between words is too long IMO. Found myself wanting to jump in and sing the next bit of lyric. So I think the lyrics could use some tightening for better flow.

Steve, You make some really good "exact" covers, this one and some others I've heard. Kinda curious how you go about doing it. I'm thinking something to do with equalizer profiles? Anyway, I enjoyed listening to your version.

Jesse - the Experimental/Alternative sub-genre king! ☺️
