    Nice job Doug. I like the vocals. The snare sounds full and love the guitar as well. Steve

    Very cool - it's got a Steely Dan vibe which I love. Steve

    Nice job on this. I like that flangy (is that a word?) synth sound you got, and the switch to minor in the middle. Steve

    Thanks Wookie - it was a lot of work and a lot of fun at the same time!

    Thanks Lynn - I appreciate your listening and commenting!

    Thanks Jack. I tried to capture the instruments as good I could to make it look like it was actually the players in the video doing it. What a cool drummer in his pajamas on that video LOL!

    Thanks for the feedback Tom. I particularly liked the guy on the top of the wall getting pelted by water and acting like it was nothing. Steve

    Use Me

    This was a really fun project - I did the instruments and Darren Garrett did the vocal. I lined it up to this live performance by Bill Withers.

    Me too! Most of them anyway. I checked in about the time JFK was assassinated. I used to work with a German company, and it was touch and go as to what you could discuss with certain people.

    Thanks Man - really appreciate your feedback.

    Thanks! I think I have Paul McCartney syndrome! LOL

    I just wanted to weigh in here. I have hated audio snap since it was first implemented. It has never worked correctly for me and the interface is abysmal. These are just my opinions, perhaps the fault is mine for not working harder at it - but you shouldn't have to. From the buttons you cannot tell whether they are on or not, to the poorly named functions, to the substandard results you get. Perhaps it is partly my fault for not spending hundreds of hours with it, but as far as I am concerned it is much easier to just try to play things right or close to right from the beginning, and then make the small corrections in other ways. (This screed is based on how audio snap was up to 2020. I haven't used it since. It drives me totally out of my mind and I won't suffer with it any more.

    Here is a video for a song of mine called Good Night, Chet. It's a quick trip through the last century, some defining moments from the 30s to the 80s. https://baselines.com/?p=5867

    Very cool. One thing I hear regarding this version, and it may be totally against what you try for, but I hear it in my head with no vocal effects. I hear it raw, like maybe Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson....along with overwhelming effects free acoustic. I think this song is good enough to stand on its own without the effects. I like it, don't get me wrong...I just hear it differently.

    This is great - I love the throwback organ tone and the harmonies. You got up there in range at the end - I could picture Mickey Dolenz clearly. Guitars are great and drum panning was very cool.

    It was such a surprise! I was watching the video feed inside as it happened and couldn't believe it. He had to make a conscious effort to knock that camera over. I've had Robins dive bomb me in the past if they thought I was a threat.

    Yeah, it is great to see the blue eggs all of a sudden spring to life. Thanks for sharing your comments, I enjoyed reading them. I did manage to get a picture before they hatched.

    Thanks Nigel - I appreciate the feedback!

    Thank you very much. One thing I try to do is make something interesting and different all the way through rather than just repeat the same thing over and over. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail ?

    Thank you for listening and the feedback!

    Thank you! Yes, the song wasn't long enough for the video so I had to improvise. That's why there is some reverse stuff in there!

    LOL Mark, so true! I can remember trying to learn it way back in 70-71 timeframe. Over the years I've changed hand positions a few times. In my neck of the woods, coyotes roam the streets at night, and I've seen foxes, fisher cats, turkeys and deer. We live in a development that is sandwiched between small patches of woods and then a golf course. On one side of us through the woods there is a farm. On a couple of occasions, some cows got loose and while we were walking the dog at night, we could hear mooing from the woods. I've caught skunks, possums, chipmunks and squirrels in the back yard in the past, but it is pretty quiet now, except for all of the rabbits that are always around.

    Thanks Wookiee! I sometimes think birds have more sense than humans ?

    My son helped me set up his video server at home and connect it to use my phone as a camera. In my back yard, a robin built a nest under my picnic table. I set up the phone to capture the videos that you can see below. I included my version of Blackbird as the music accompaniment. It wasn’t long enough, so I added in a reversed section in the middle to space it out. You can see close to the end that one of the robins was none too happy with the phone capturing his actions. He gives it the evil eye and then flies into it. Today, the nest is empty and the young ones are flying around.
