Excellent. It made me smile and feel good. Vibe is great, and tune seems very vintage and fitting imo for the listing. Agree with wta, Lvox forward just a smidgeon.. But not much else to say other than, great job! Jamie

What's amazing, bill, is how this sounds like a band--multiple people making inputs on stops and starts, chanting together. Lots on energy in the vocal and drums, especially.Guitar break was a little sloppy, but maybe that goes with the garage setting? I'd like to hear some air tools thrown in there for good measure!Great job.Vince

Thanks WTA & Jamie, I'll boost the vox just a "titch" (what the hell is that, .5db?) in the verses. Vince, I think this sounds like a band probably BECAUSE of the sloppiness. I tracked it really fast & "loose" to avoid it getting too polished. I wanted to use my hollowbody Gretsch but it had a broken high E string, it has a Bigsby so it's a pain in the a$$ to change strings. I decided I didn't need a high E for this song, which would have come in handy for the solo (oh, I'm lazy too).

Nicely done my friend! Yeah I agree probably strongest of the 60's stuff I've heard lately from you. I think the vox are fine as is for me level wise. I like the attitude you put into the "yeah" when the music drops out. you've got a great voice for this stuff. guitar tone is great!the thing with you bill is that whereas I have to program half my instruments you can actually PLAY them all ha ha!

Thanks Patrick! The guitar is my Gretsch hollowbody through a little Roland micro-cube mic'ed with a sm58 through my old Joe Meek pre-amp/compressor. I love the sounds I can get out of that simple set up. It's only 5 watts but will feedback like crazy when it's cranked up.Patrick, I would have thought most of your stuff was really 'played" . . . you could have fooled me-

well I've seen those little cubes.. those things get some tone! I like the idea of tracking a smaller amb like that. ha ha well I guess if I'm fooled you on the instruments than I'm doing ok.

Patrick Baker:Just checking out your stuff on myspace. You are excellent. I'd love to co-write sometime. Only about four hours away. Very impressive that you can fill that much space with just guitar and vocal.Mark

Bill - Love the song. It's music that I don't have to think about, and that is a compliment. Mark
