I finally score some listening time. And what a gem to find, just dead-on Byrds songwriting. Love the phrasing and all.I think the guitars are maybe over-EQd...a tad harsh and overdriven. I really think you should view it as a MANDATE to get your friend's Rick on this...the difference will freak you out, man. I also think the harp solo could use a little extra shot of reverb.Awesome track and lots of fun to listen to. In fact, I'm goin' back.-Mark

I got this email from Broadjam today. Looks like we're not the only people noticing how awesome you are pal!Quote:Broadjam staff picks: Free Songs Bill Gaunce View Artist Profile Song: Everybody Wants To Get High Location: Norfolk, Virginia, UNITED STATES Bio: The vocals capture your attention right away. The harmonies are great and are reminiscent of Tom Petty. The instrumentation of the song is great and the lyrics are poignant. It has an easy, laid back feeling. The chorus is catchy. Good, solid song. Download this song for free on BlahBlah.Usually I don't like that other company much, but today, they're OK with me!

Something about that word FREE that seems to always get attention. FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE . . . okay, I've had a few, sorry.

Well, this song was returned for the "60s ala The Byrds" listing. I'm pretty confused since it was forwarded for a general ala 60s listing.The listing specified that a stong "soundalike" quality was wanted & I thought I had nailed it.Oh well.http://www.billgaunce.com/song/98
