This new version takes full advantage of the BB capabilities. There are many live overdubs, including guitars, organ and percussion, but the BB rhythm section carries the tune. https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/a-girl-like-you-2 Song Summary ************* Title: Untitled Song File:A Girl Like You.SGU Key=G , Tempo 126, Length (m:s)=4:58 No intro. 153 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 153.

I could definitely relate to the "squirrel in the road" line. That was a great analogy. Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic

Not a lot of rock around here...maybe this will stir the pot. We enjoyed it. J&B Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

The reverb on the singing is also good. Take care, Sergio Last edited by semar; 07/29/15 09:52 PM. Music, games and more - Musica, giochi ed altro ancora

We've been away from the site for about 9 months due to health and family issues. Nice to "meet" you! Good rocker ... to us, it has a late 70's Brit sound to it. The 12 string electric accents that thought for us. Liked everything about it! Very nice, indeed!

The guitars are very well mixed and balanced. Good vocals. Nice job.
