  1. Very nice song. Has a Doobie Brothers vibe to me.

    My nit pick is that the snare sound is too bright and stands out nearly to the point of distraction. A woodier snare might fit better.

    And then there is the actual drum patterns. A little too busy for my tastes for such a simple emotive song.

    Then again, I've been known to be wrong before.

    I’ve thought about switching to a completely Blues genre.  Nobody seems to question the ability of old Blues guys to perform their art.  In fact, they seem to acquire more respect as they age.    At my age, could I start up a Blues artist career.......well.....Dream On.

    Saw an episode of their show last week. They were at a restaurant in Hatch, New Mexico and a Mariachi band played Paranoid for them.
    Interesting. Unusual. Trippy.

    Would have been even more Interesting, Unusual & Trippy if they played a Scorpions or Zep song.

  4. I just sold an item from the US to someone in France. After getting a good price from me he had to pay unexpected 'extra' import fees. Still a good price (way better than 50% of retail). I declared it as a gift but I did (mistakenly?) declare a value of the item on the customs report. I thought I needed to do that to declare insurance value to the carrier. Looks like I did not.

    I'll probably not sell outside the US much anymore unless the buyer agrees to an any unexpected/unforeseen import fees.

    Nah. I was gonna bring it up to date....

    The tinkering of the mobo's inadvertently releases a non existent computer virus that it is said will kill all the computers in the world, which the non-gender specific hero character, braigc, has to fight all alone because of not being allowed out and the worldwide banning of the expression of electronic opinions contrary to those dictated by the other main character, Willomena Fences, who somehow made a billions despite not really knowing much about how computers work, let alone viruses, but is suddenly an expert on everything.

    Willomena claims to have spent all the money on some special water to inject into all the mobos to stop then form dying. braigc is powerless to stop Willomena's epic fraud and has to sit at home dismayed that all the computer's owners are standing in line for Willomema's special water, not realising that rather than save them, it will actually kill them because nobody thought to question the wisdom of injecting injecting untested special water into computers that were actually not even broken in the first place.

    In the end Willomena makes even more money from selling new computers to everyone despite being the one that killed them all because they were able to blame the fact that it didn't work on a few rebels who hid their computers away and didn't inject Willomena's specia; water into them. Strangely these are the only computers left from the old world that still work in the new world, but nobody seems to question that. However, braigc is not done and vows to get even with Willomena by throwing long needles in a specific order, a skill than unbeknown to him he has been practicing for many years, with seemingly little point..............

    until now.

     

    To be continued.......]

    Cue Aerosmith with the cunningly crafted theme music, thus making the whole thing music related. 

    (sorry Gregy, Steven is just too charming to refuse).

    Can't wait for Season Too. With all the flashbacks and such.

    No, but I have the empty packet.

    Imagine that - you could impress people by telling them that you made a packet by selling the movie rights to a story that you wrote.

    Prolly end up with some explosions and the guy gets the girl.

    Total Hollywooded up that.
