This was from a little while ago.
Torrey on vocals, BIAB RealDrums on skins n wires.
FINALLY managed to concoct a video from previous videos.
Back in 1976 my teachers' college room mate taught me six guitar chords, (which I played on a classical guitar I'd borrowed restrung with steel - yeah, I know NOW). These are those six as I sequenced them two years later - I hadn't learnt any new ones but I wrote out this lyric & progression for a song to include on a "rock opera" that didn't happen. My former room mate & I had tried to better the mini Rock Opera Ethnic Banana I'd written in 77, (same chords - in various combinations for that set too), but as it was a "major work" and had an entire subject loading attributed to it the pressure brought it to a halt within a month and we both picked up another subject instead.

Cool video.

The song has become truly familiar through repetition. So...great job on the marketing!!

To say your vids are full of energy is an understatement!

We love the way you capture the groove with your imagery.

Fun watch...and listen!

Ray,
Good to see Torrey and yourself performing and getting fuzzy in different ways!
I hope this gets an excellent song heard over on YT.

ray,

It's thumbs up from me! You've done a great job with Torrey's always-excellent work.

Where do you find the time to do all this? I've made a few videos over the years, I'm not in your league though.

I seriously admire your work.

All the best,
Noel

Hi guys,

this is what I would call a COE - a collab of experts. Hadn't heard the song before - well, if that ain't catchy and toe-tapping... Excitingly well-sung and sounding absolutely pro.

Great video, too. Thought at first that that bass guitar was a Hofner 'Beatles Bass' (which I haven't seen for a loooooong while) , but it is too bif - Ray, what is it?

Absolutely great !

Hello Stefan,
Thanks for the kind words.
The bass in the audio is a Vantage from 1981 and in the video is a De Rosa - a multibadged made in China knock off of a Hofner that is, oddly, as good as the M.I.C. Hofner Ignition range currently available. It's fun to play but with round wounds strings doesn't quite sound right.


Cheers

Exactly, a perfect COE!

Great job on this. Love that bass guitar!

Ray,
as I mentioned before, to my taste this is among the best of your tunes. An excellent team work. Torrey did a grand job! Honestly, if I heard it over radio waves, I would not even think that it was a "project" piece. It sounds like a well established band that had been performing for a long time together. Now with vid it has a sense of completion. Thank you for sharing!

Misha.
