Tom- Thanks for coming back around a second time and giving this another listen. I'm still undecided on the Kick, but we are working on and outro solo to update the song.

Hey Wookie- Thanks for listening and commenting. Thank you for the info on the Kick.

Excellent suggestion Ed! I may see if Sean wants to add some thing tasteful to the ending of the song. I much appreciate you checking the kick in your cans. I was really liking the punch that I had going in this mix and the kick was sounding good on my systems, but I was now worried that it may not be on others. I much appreciate the listen an comments!

Hi Lynn, Nice song and like usual, excellent lyrics. Everything sounds pretty good to me related to the mix. Purely a personal choice, but my ears want to hear the guitar solos more centered when playing without vocals. Good job brother!

I made a small tweak to the Solo on this song and uploaded the new version. I could hear it slightly over driving one of the plugins I was running the track through, causing some unpleasant distortion. Should be fixed now.

As one of the world biggest Beatles fans, this is awesome and very well done! Way to also make it your own. Excellent harmonies.

Leadfoot- Thanks for listening to the mix. I made a small tweak to the Solo guitar this afternoon, something that Sean wanted tweaked. Glad the rest of the mix sounded good to your ears.

Hey Tom- Thanks for listening and commenting. I will listen again to the kick to see if it particularly stands out on my sources.

Cool tune Leadfoot, I really enjoyed the listen!

Hey David, Thanks for listening and commenting. Reece, Sean and myself all love the secular music that we grew up with. We all still listen, play and go to concerts to see many of the bands we grew up listening too. Our hope is that our love for rock, pop and blues carries over to the music we are writing to reach an audience that loves the same type of music. I am really happy that you find the songs compelling, hopefully that is a sign that we are doing something right.

Hi Gang, its been a while. Seems like after we put out our last batch of songs, we were some what burned out as a group. We currently have a half dozen songs we are working towards finishing. No Longer Blind: https://soundcloud.com/michaeljhanson/no-longer-blind Here is the latest. This is a song I wrote and I have done the mixing and mastering. Let us know what you think; all comments are welcome.

15w can certainly be very loud full throttle. Depending on the amp itself, if it has a good master volume, it can also have usable tone at bedroom levels. Using OD and compression pedals, in combination with the amp, can also get you usable gain tones at low volumes.

Yes! Writing songs which are not popular is a sure bet on going nowhere. Been there, done that.

I'm exercising free will at the moment, by not getting banned due to my beliefs. You have the free will to buy our CD's, by the way.

Obviously! They keep stepping on my key board.

Of course it was, no penguin would stand for that torture.

Remote to the TV is one of my favorite conveniences. We have 3 TV's at our house, each with a remote, each of which I can never find after used by my daughter or wife. It used to really get under my skin that the remote was always missing. I don't even worry about it any more and don't need it; can do it with the iPhone.

I would, but I'm not in it for the money. Its a labor of love.

Yep, I use mine to blow up small print, as well. It my alarm clock, timer, gps navigation, airlines boarding pass, flashlight, debit card, Music player, remote for the TV, etc. etc etc. I’ve even gotten in the habit of taking a photo of my parking location in the airport parking garage so that I can remember where I parked when I return. It’s become a major tool for convenience in my every day life.

I use my phone more than the computer these days. It's pretty remarkable how far they have advanced.

Pretty much a mute point when there is no money in music anyway.

I follow the guitar nerd on FB. He’s already found a 59 Strat in Tampa in excellent condition and bought it from original owner.

Much better Douglas.

I got rid of my Studio.....traded it in for a 2017 Traditional.

He will be on Guitar Safari while there.
