Thanx so much. I actually thought that the guitar phrases were a little repetitious, but maybe I was wrong.

Thanx, I'm glad you liked it.

You definitely kept it interesting with the musician and production skills. The angelicals (I think) reminded me a bit of Star Trek. I love the bits you play on guitar. Altogether, an amazing sound, scifi space feel.

Hi Mario,

First I watched that video, expecting you to perform in it some way.
But the song in it was not your style. Your own version of rhythm King was far more interesting! Really cool, with all those sounds.
You're a much more creative guy than I thought you already were!
Liked it all very much,

Hans

An excellent song to listen to along with our porch wind chimes while looking through our forest out the window.

A great creative jam and as always the performances are top tier ... as is the mix.

Most enjoyable,

Thanx so much Janice and Bud. Yes Bob and I can be very creative. Bob know little music theory but he uses that to his advance, i.e. he comes up with some excellent chord progressions.

Thanx Dan. I never thought about it but you are right, it could be used for a 50's sci-fi B-movie.

Mario,

Your songs are always a hoot and a blast.

This is so much fun.

And, as usual, TRIPPY. You, my friend, are the TRIPPY KING.

At the risk of repeating myself, Mario, everything you produce sounds like it belongs in a movie soundtrack.
