freddy j Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Recently I have been having difficulty in categorizing genre for the stuff that I have been working on. This song is also giving me the same issue. This is a simple song using just guitars, bass and drums (old school). It is intended to be just a bit of fun with some observations and a wee bit of a message. As always comments, suggestions, crit.'s, etc. will be very much appreciated! Thanks!!

Lynn Wilson Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I like the style of this song and the fact that you're stretching those creative muscles! It's like comfort food for the soul. On the technical side, the vocals seem to be narrowly panned, though not the guitar. I wonder if it might be useful to EQ your lead vocal slightly different, say a mild boost around 3k, or maybe roll-off some low end? Otherwise, this is a fine addition to your extensive collection of songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 @Lynn Wilsonthanks for bumping this back to the top of the page. I was going to do it myself. Its interesting how some tunes “fall thru the cracks”. I love Freddy’s tunes… t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much for listening, the kind comments, and for the suggestions about the vocal. As soon as life slows down a bit and stops interfering with what I would rather be doing, I'll be making the changes. BTW, I really enjoyed and was impressed by your recent post with Dary1968l!! Hey tom. Thanks very much for listening , commenting, and for the help. I took a look at your My Reel link and what a great site! The music was great and I had no idea that you had so many other outside the forum interests. Thanks again and thanks for the encouragement! Hi Makke. Thanks very much for listening and for the kind words. Also --- I very much enjoyed your last post! Hey Nigel. I am very glad that you enjoyed this song. Given the quality of your work, I am humbled by your kind words. Your recent post is excellent but every thing you do is terrific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I always like your social commentary songs Freddy, because I always seem to agree with them. And I like how you always play a little blues in there, whatever the genre. -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Hi Bjorn. Thanks very much for listening and for the very kind comments. I first heard the Blues, and 1950's Rhythm and Blues when I was a wee bit of a pre-teen living up in the Great White North. If the weather was just right during the night time hours, I could pull in WLAC broadcast all the way from Nashville Tenn. That was it and I was hooked. I flirted with other styles but I always came back to the blues for a Blues Infusion. To misquote a John Lee Hooker lyric "... it's in him and its got to come out." Thanks again! Hi Steve. I very much appreciate your taking time to listen and for the kind words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
