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.

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