Thanks, Pat!

I agree - the mandolin fade on the second verse doesn't work. I can often hide changes of instruments with a cross-fade, but with so much dropping out, the only options are to drop the mandolin out earlier (and lose some lovely riffs) or put some sort of "real" ending at the end of the phrase. I suspect that I can find something from a shot or hold.

The credit for the chord progression goes to Alan Nissla, a local pastoral musician. There are some nice Maj7 and min9 chords, which make everything sound better.

But what really drives this is the excellent guitar and mandolin parts. It's a bit scary how BiaB give us access to such professional players.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
