We toss a few songs to Songtradr but I'm not gonna bend to any modern trends regarding placement of the vocal in the mix.

We are of the school that if you have something to say the vocal should be out front and if you're gonna say it with soul, irrespective of genre, there is even more reason to have it out front.

We love soulful vocals from Billie Holiday to Gregg Allman...why would anybody want to hide that?

You had something to say, you said it with soul, and it is sitting in the mix right where it oughta.

Pardon the ole guy rant. We enjoyed the tune.

Well done!

Alan, man that was sweet! You are an endless stream of songwriting talent. Very smooth and enjoyable tune! I think that reverb I noticed on the snare really gives this song the push that carries it right along! Thanks, Torrey

I can't keep up with me, either! Still have a few waiting in the wings. You're still a working man and I'm retired ... gives me a time advantage!!! BIAB and I have become very good friends!

Glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Hi Elliot,

I have the flu so my comments will be brief.

I'm delighted you enjoyed it and appreciating you letting me know. I really enjoy playing around with chord combinations and trying to work some of the more unexpected ones into some of my songs. I'm a big fan of the sax. Glad you enjoyed it!

Merry Christmas.

Hi Torrey,

I have the flu so my comments will be brief.

Thank you so much. Coming from a talent such as you, that means a lot. I'm more than delighted you liked it! And yes, I usually put a little reverb on the drums ... particularly when the snare is more evident. it gives them a warmth and expands their dynamics in the backing tracks. Al least, that how it sounds to me.

Thanks again and wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.

Alan
