Kevin Walsh

Very good song, wish I'd written it! I concur with the psychedelic comment, very much an early Pink Floyd vibe. A nice tribute, Jesse, very sorry for your loss.

Sounds suspiciously like a goodbye speech. 😦

Pretty smashing rendition, Steve!

Absolutely killed it. Lovely horns and groove, but I'm amazed at the midi guitar. Excellent.

Thanks! I didn't really mean to write a country song, so give me a pass on that one.

Thank you, jack, appreciate you coming back to give it another go!

Thank you Steve!

Thank you!

I hope I've fixed things a bit, thanks, Nigel.

Thank you, Steve. I've posted an updated mix, and there will likely be one more.

It's been a while since I've been in the C++ game so correct me if I'm out of touch on this but it's not always a good ideal to uninstall all of the C++ redistributable packages from your computer. These components contain library code that many programs share. Some versions are used and installed by Windows itself. Microsoft issues fixes and security updates for them too. While you may fix one program's operation, you may well end up breaking any number of others. One safer option is to try to repair an install rather than simply uninstalling it. You can do this by right-clicking on the package in the Programs and Features Control Panel and selecting Change->Repair. As always, your mileage may vary, caveat emptor and so on.

Love me some Lyle Lovett, and you nailed his vibe. No problem with energy here! Vocals are first rate, mark. Beautiful mix and a lovely, dynamic touch on the guitar. Perfect.

This one badass track. The rhythm guitar track(s) are sublime, such a great sonic space.

I enjoyed this one, loved the strings!

Beautiful, I do like the progression. Drums came in at the perfect point, and I love the sounds you get from those mysterious boxes.

I commented on your YT channel, great track!

Thanks, man, one of these days I'll figure out how to get out of my own way. You encouragement is much appreciated!

What a great track Gary. Awesome mix and I love the performances all the way around. Super strong song. First rate!

Great job, this was a huge hit when I was a kid, always loved it's haunting vibe. You did a very fine job here, and you vocal performance is first rate.

Thank you! I appreciate your listening and commenting!

Thank you, Steve! I don't know why I didn't like it. I'm still not much of a fan of it, but if JL sang it, I guarantee it would sound so much better than what I have now and I might come around. 😀 It's hard to listen to, let alone like my own music, especially when I hear the work of so many much more talented people, many of whom post regularly on this forum (yourself included). I very much appreciate you listening and your very kind comments are most welcome. It's very nice to hear that something I've done has some value to some folks.

Thanks for listening, as always, your critique is on the mark. I can't un-hear that snare. Must fix it.

Thanks Jack!

Here's another one from the reject pile. I wrote this and did the balance of the recording in 2019 but for some reason I so loathed this song that I put it from my mind and promptly forgot about. I ran across it this week and thought, gee, that doesn't suck too terribly bad. I know it's a bit rough around the edges but I don't think it deserves the derision I mentally heaped upon it. Anyway, here it is, The Show. Update: My apologies for reviving this, but I had neglected to post the updates based on feedback. I've adjusted the mix to tame the snare and actually ended up changing the drum set. I've also brought back some guitar bits that I had inadvertently left out of the last mix. Thank you all for listening and critiquing, it's been a fun learning experience. the show kevin walsh 10/23/2019 they always come at night just before the closing invoking certain rights with the guns that they are holding same old show same old show just waiting for that minute when you have let your guard down and you find that they have left a candle for your take down same old show yeah they know and they always seem to know which way to go and they always know just how to make it so woah woah humiliation burns you while they carry out their shakedown and you're choking on the bits of the situation breakdown well you know yeah you know they're sifting through the bones while you hide among the ashes and they hum their little songs and the flames race up the sashes so it goes yeah so it goes and they always seem to know which way to go and they always know just how to make it so oh yeah i know there's something oh yeah there's trouble on the way yeah i'll be there in the morning oh yeah might be here to stay you handle all the setbacks and you rise above the anger but they'll always be behind you and you'll always feel the danger so it goes yeah so it goes you know there's something to it cause you read it in the paper try not to think about it save it all for later so you know so you know and they always seem to know which way to go and they always know just how to make it so

I missed this one the last time you posted, which is a shame because it's a wonderful song with a great sound. My hearing is such that shakers don't make a lot of difference, but that does nothing to detract from my enjoyment of the song. I can't recall right now the band that this reminds me of, something from the great prog awakening of the 70's and early 80's, and particularly the vocal, but it'll come to me. Stellar work!
