Hi Tom! I did these same exact thing....with the same results!

Hi Treesha - thank you for your feedback. And yes, it is Mr Kelly!

Hi Tom! Thanks for listening.

? Yes, it was a lot of fun! It would probably kill me if I was doing it now. Thanks Mark!

Thanks for listening Larry.

Hi Lynn - thank you very much! I just started testing out the UA Spark plugins and updated the version of this song on the website. I used their 1176 compressors on individual tracks. Man I really like those UA plugins so far - I am going to go for the yearly subscription - to my ears they add a lot!

This is a song from my old band Private Lightning, recorded on Saint Patrick's Day 1980. https://baselines.com/?p=6769

HI Larry thanks for listening. Some of my other songs have been compared to XTC as well. I'm going to have to dig out my old album!

It was a pretty cool time. I remember sitting in the dark in front of my TV watching the moon walk unfold. Truly magical. I was 15 at the time. Thank you for leaving feedback Russell.

Thanks for taking time to listen freddy and of course the nice feedback!

Nice sounds! I heard Georgy Girl as well!

I don't know if this helps, but there is a screen recorder called icecream that will allow you to record what is on your screen. I use it to capture YouTube videos. It's free for recordings under 5 minutes in length I believe.

Hi Freddy I couldn't get to the link. I was hoping to find out whether I agree with your wife or you LOL. Maybe I'll try a little later.

Well I turned the volume up a few DB when this started up! Sounds great guys.

Thank you Bjorn!

I'd have to say my main influences were The Beatles, Steely Dan, E-Street Band, Elton John and some early Chicago. Anything early 70's probably influenced me the most. Thank you for the note about I'll Be Around - that was a great song!

That's for sure! Most of us probably learned the same way ... from the bands we admired. I know I did.

? I picked up my old slide rule a couple of weeks ago (inherited from my dad) and tried to remember how it worked. COuldn't even do a simple multiplication any more. The placing of the decimal point was always difficult for me. A little before the calculators became affordable, I got a circular slide rule that was pretty cool.

Hi Nigel - thank you for listening!

Thank you Marshall. When I used to gig, people would mention Fairport Convention to us once in a while - I guess it is an influence on me!

Wow thank you! I never got to see Utopia, but I saw Todd by himself one time.

Thank you for listening!

Another great video and tune Nigel - I enjoyed it. I liked the juxtaposition between current and old views. Thanks! Steve

Hi Mark - sounds really great. Nice stereo spread in the phones and excellent performance. Great mix...and .... COWBELL! Who could ask for more? I could picture the band playing on the stage in my head - always the sign of a quality production.

Nice laid back and tasteful playing...I like the horn harmonies.
