This month we had an ice storm. As I was looking out our kitchen window I said.......well something very similar to this song title whistle blush So I ran down to my studio and came up with this.

BiaB style is FunkPop - Funky ev. 16 Pop-Rock. The drums are straight from this style but I delete everything else.

I am playing the rhythm guitar, the fretless bass, via my wind controller the tenor sax and trumpet and via my keyboard controller the B3.

Mario, A really good mix. Some great wind controller work and I really like your fretless bass slides. Good one, Tom

Nice funk, I can almost feel the icy hits, I like the bass sound and its melody. Cool brass work.

This would be great with lyrics and a vocal. An ice storm and a cold heart. I like the sax best.

Thanx everyone for listening and commenting. I appreciate them.

Marty, be my guess. Add lyrics, sing and then post them.

PS - This goes for anyone that wants to add lyrics so just let me know what you would need, if anything.

Mario,

It is impressive that you are playing everything except the drums.

It is funky! And fun! A good listen. And nice mix.

Enjoyed.

Thanx Floyd, Noel and Peter for listening and those very nice comments. I am really just a jack of all trades when it comes to my instruments but a master of none. I just like to play and have fun.

Hey Mario. You have allot of really cool stuff going on in this song. Loved your instruments you chose on this song. Everything so different but fit so good together. The drums and bass have some funky stuff going on. Loved it....

Superb...first bar or so reminded us of Carlos....

Glad to hear a funky take on an ice storm. They are brutal here. Keep you awake at night with limbs cracking...could be a song there smile

You are a most talented man. Everything but the drums? Even if everything was not superb (as it is) that alone would be amazing.

The mix is flawless.

Most enjoyable.

Mario,

This is a cool listen; lot’s going on here but it all hangs together very, well, funkily. Impressive that you’ve done most all the playing on this. Well done!

Best regards,

Deej
