LOL - Gainfully unemployed - I'm gonna steal that! Thanks for posting a comment, always nice to hear from other musicians!

Hi John - thank you. The horns were done with Session Horns Pro using the 'Tuba Brass' setting. Michael Fortunato on Bandlab has sent me a real trombone part which I am going to try and work in.

Thanks Tom for the comments. The first verse vocal is dead center, but when the harmonies come in it's 20% left for one and 20% right for the other. I try to think of what the 'band' would look like on the stage and for this one I guess I pictured singers slightly apart from the center.

This is a song I wrote shortly after getting laid off - before I realized that retirement was AWESOME ? http://baselines.com/?p=4808 Hope you like it. Comments either way are appreciated. I use negative and bask in positive ? Thanks for listening. I'm on Bandlab (@steve2k2)

Thanks a lot Steve for the kind words!

Thanks John! I really appreciate your feedback.

Haha - yes I am familiar with that - it's why I put (original) in the title.

DeeringAmps - thanks for the feedback - you are absolutely correct about that. It's a battle for being exactly tight and also not regimented - gotta work on that. I do build tempo maps when I do covers. Maybe next original I do I will try a different approach.

Hi - Yeah that is in the player above the Blog post. It does add some confusion that way - I'm trying to find out if I can remove the header player from the Blog post section. You can get to the other song below the header. Thanks for listening!

Hi Everyone - here's an original I finished up a little while ago. Hope you like it. http://baselines.com/?p=4756

Thank you for listening and letting me know!!!

Ahh, the good old days. That must have been fun out there in Detroit. We only gigged the east coast pretty much, '75-'83 - I miss it.

Hi! Here's my cover version of the 1972 Spinner's hit I'll Be Around - one of my favorites. @elizabethdarcel on vocals and myself (@steve2k2) on instruments, mix and master. Hope you like it! http://baselines.com/?p=4783

Hey thanks a lot Andy - really appreciate it. Do you use Bandlab?

Hello - longtime Sonar user, just found these forums, so I'll give this a try. Here's a link to a new cover done by Bandlab friends. @thelonewulfproject, @kiwichrys and myself @steve2k2. http://baselines.com/?p=4765
