I'm having a hard time with sound these days as my hearing is failing me. My left ear, to be exact. I listen to an original cut of songs and try to duplicate the sound as to timbre. So let me know what you think. With the BBE turned on it sounds a bit brassy to me. But, so does the original cut.

A special thanks to Graham (Furry) for laying down the accordian track. I thought it was perfect on the 1st shot. (Naturally)

Click Here and give it a listen. Tell me what you think.

That felt REAL good Russ! Maybe just tighten up the ending a little, but I liked this a lot!

Thanks Lee. I think Graham may have gotten slightly out of sync with the ending parts. I can fix it in the mix.

Ok. I fixed the ending part as best I could. May be able to make another change to it. Something to think about. Now I gotta convert this over to a karaoke by erasing the lead vocal and leaving only the harmony in there. Bass part has to go too. Ah well. That's what makes it so interesting. I can do all that. Just wished I had my youthful energy now to go play.

Yoiks! Yer right. There was a tag at the end of the song I forgot to remove before the upload. It's fixed now. So listen away.

It’s all been said.

All I can add is this is what happens when two accomplished musicians join forces.

Great job gentlemen.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Thanks everybody. And, especially thanks for Graham for his magical accordian fingers. It made the song happen.
