Hi All,

I have a lot of catching up to do... smile

Anyway, here's something new - this is a simple little folk-rock song called Satellites.

All BIAB/RTs. Thanks for listening!

Nicely done and I thought your vocals were good. Very clear to me.

Would like to know what the strumming acoustic real track you used. It was a nice strumming pattern.

Great idea. Excellent mix and vocal performance.
The title fits my moniker. I couldn't help but listen.

Really cool stuff Bob!! You have such a way with clever, abstract lyrics. It is an interesting lyrical and conceptional collage. Mix and production fit the song well. Harmonica is sweet. Great job! Take care. Greg

Charlie,

Thanks - the main strumming is RT 405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120.

Bob, Glad to see you back. First I was struck with the clarity of the mix. This is your best ever. The harmonica sounds like it's in the room with me. Nicely produced. Your harmonies sound really good the way you made them just peek out. Definitely your best mix and overall near the top of everything you've ever posted here. Way to up your game! Tom

Good job using all RT's and making it seem "real" (ha, ha). OK what bass is that? Great harp part. OK, list all the RT's please!

Good vocals and the lyrics are well put together also. Mighty fine overall mix and sound.

Bob,

Wow. The first thing that struck me was the exceptional clarity of the mix and then, as the song progressed, I was equally impressed with the strength of the arrangement. Awesome!

As always, imagery swirls throughout these lyrics. You're a master at using a phrase to create a picture and enhance an emotion.

Regards,
Noel

Bob - Tom said all the things I thought and had intended to say... but I'll say them again...

This is your best mix ever. Perfect for your writing. The band you were meant to record with! Perfect presentation.

Cool write, too.

Excellent vocal. Confident.

I like it all.

I was just thinking I hadn't heard one of your songs in a while, so this was a pleasant surprise!

+1 to what's been said: clear mix, evocative lyrics, all around good job.

Cool tune. I can't help but catch a Dylan vibe when I listen to your music.

Bob,

So nice to hear from you! I have been out a lot lately, and was really glad to see your post today when I came back! I always comment about the quality of your writing (because it is always that good). This one is no exception. As I find myself always saying, you inspire and challenge me to write better lyrics every time I hear one of your songs.
