Hi Noel
Somehow I missed your song, so am commenting way too late. Apologies.
What an interesting theme for a tune! I really like the way you have delivered a birthday song so well disguised. All fits together nicely. The short viola and guitar breaks provide a nice fill too.
Well done. Thanks
Trevor

Very nice Noel,
I ALWAYS enjoy your singing. The arrangement is interesting with the dual acoustic guitars, organ and finally the viola. The production is clear and precise.

Very nice Noel,
I ALWAYS enjoy your singing. The arrangement is interesting with the dual acoustic guitars, organ and finally the viola. The production is clear and precise. Jim, I appreciate the kind words. Thank you. With the arrangement, I used multiriff in RB to generate two different generations of RT 362. I then panned each version of RT 362 to opposite sides of the stereo stage. This approach often to give a fullness to the overall sound. It must just be about time for you a new song from you  All the best, Noel

Hi cavalier blanc,
Thank you for having a listen. I appreciate the positive feedback.
The nylon guitar that I used for the 4-bar fill is...
Realtrack # 2200: Guitar, Nylon, Background CountryBrent Ev 085
I've found that sometimes when I need a less energetic solo passage, the "background" Realtracks can be very useful.
Regards,
Noel

Mike B. Hi Mike, Thank you for the listen. Writing lyrics used to be an impossibility for me. Then I went to a Pat Pattison seminar. Pat showed me the 'how to' and, ten years later, I think I find putting lyrics together easier than arranging a song. In all honesty, I find it very satisfying playing around with words these days. I've nearly finished another song and your above comment has inspired me to document the process that I used when I wrote the lyrics. I'll post that information along with the song when I finish it. Maybe the insight will be useful to you. All the best with your jazz composing! Noel

Dan Dan, Thank you for jumping into the thread and taking time to listen. I appreciate the feedback. I don't know about you but I find it very hard to hear whether a mix is good or not by the end of the process. It's always a challenge to know when enough tweaking is enough. All the best with your songwriting! Noel

Hi Pete, You flatter me! LOL! Thanks, though. You've shone a bit of sunshine my way and that's a great way to start the day. Regards, Noel

What a great song. I love the lyrics of the song, the choice of the viola, and the classic rock/country feel.

Just listened to "just a little after midnight" and wanted to say how great your voice and guitar sounds over this track. You have great pitch. I could sure hear you singing a Jimmy Buffet song. Track sounds great. Thanks for the kind words about "Breaking Through". Torrey.

Hi Noel,
Nothing to add that has not been said. Very nice song that I enjoyed hearing.
Cheers,
Billy
