I’ve been extremely busy lately with work and health issues with my mother, my aunt who takes care of my mother and my wife. Plus it’s been hot here that last few weeks so getting things done takes a lot longer than usual. Anyway last Saturday I had a little time to myself so I recorded this Jamming With My Friends song in about 6 hours. A little background, I was sending emails back and forth with my good buddy Ray Thigpen when he typed “we’re good buddies who have never met……that would make a good song”. So I stole that theme, sorry Ray, and came up with "Jamming With My Friends". I hope you like it for what it is.

Pretty unique. Usual excellence. IMHO, It may be my ears but I think the vox could be a bit more our front, especially on the harmonies. It's hot here also 111F yesterday, going to 113.  Don S.

quick and dirty song
When I saw the subject, Mario, I though you had been doing yardwork. 
Wish you had a way of posting your lyrics. My hearing says your voice needs to come to the foreground a bit more and perhaps even reduce the low frequencies on the vox. Harmony seems to be a good mix - you or TC? Love the lead work - make a note of the sound - I got another place for it.
Good tight production as usual, Mario.
Cheers - Ian

YUP! THUMBS UP!!!!  I liked the song!! Clever idea. And Mario, I agree with the others ---- that lead vocal needs to come more up front. I'd like to see the words also.... Bring that vocal forward so that we don't need the printed lyrics. Thanks, BUDDY!!!!!!!! Good job.......... as usual!!!!

Hi Mario,
A great idea for a song. I liked it very much - I agree the vocal could come a little more up front. I thought the lyrics really good. Well done - now I will listen again.
Jim

Thanx all for listening, the kind words of encouragement and the suggestions. Hopefully later today I will remix this and send it up again.

Nice song Mario. How 'bout letting Ray take the keys on this one? That would make it go full circle.
(I agree on the vox-comments.)

OK you guys asked for it. here is the song with the vocals more up front. NOTE that I am NOT responsible for any ear damage and/or glass breakage, including eyeglasses and monitors! How about it Ray? Want to play the keys here? Also here are the lyrics: Jamming With My Friends on the Internet Verse 1: I’m just an old guy Who likes to play my guitar I’ll never tour the world I’ll never be a star Verse 2: But I like jamming With people just like me We’ve made some great music Even put out some CDs CHORUS: Jamming with my friends on the internet Jamming with good buddies whom I’ve never met Verse 3 We’ve done some rock-n-roll Played some gospel too Played some jazz and some pop Even played some blues – Chorus 2X

oh heck yeah....................... much improved with those vocals turned up!!! YES.
I think the canned piano does a fine job on this one. Doesn't need me to try and improve it.
I like the song! Says it all............ and it's all true.
Great job, Mario!!!!
I got this one saved on my PC!

Ray, you wimp! You know you can do the job much better than ANY canned pianist could do. Go ahead and make this one go full circle. Take the key-parts and make it a real collab between cyberfriends.
Yes, the production is fine as it is. But with you in this song it will bring the proverbial icing to the cake.

i got a small area for recording & stuff... i have to keep all my stuff put away in a closet.... it's a chore to drag it all out... one of these days i'll drag the stuff out and maybe then i'll toy with the idea of adding a piano track... but thanks for the 'encouragement'

Hi Mario,
Loved it! I thought that the lyrics were terrific; they worked for me. I also thought your idea was very original!
All the best,

Hi Mario,
Real good job on this one. I'm with those that prefer the second version. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Jim
I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.
