Grazie, Daniele!

Well, after all we are just three G.P.s, and first of all we dedicated this to our wives!

No problem, I've used "_BALADE Country Balad w/el.guitar (85 RS)" style.

Technically I can add that in a previous version I had chosen a different style (don't remember which one...), but probably due to the fact that the song tempo was 69, while the suggested style tempo was 85, when I tried to render it as wav, one of the backing guitars began playing always while the song was on the drumsticks intro.
Since I liked the bass of the previous style, i've substituted the one of _BALADE with the old one: 518, Bass Electric Pop Half Notes, EV 085.

Since we three live very, very far each other, everything was made "by distance": I've recorded the backing tracks and the guitar solo on a Boss BR-600 digital recorder, then I've sent the file to Enzo for the piano part. Then back to me for mixing the two parts (wav files; in this step I'be used Adobe Audition 3 and Isotope Ozone 3); then again to the singer for the vocals. Not simple, but we enjoyed a lot!!!

More, after a couple of days the video was removed by complaint of EXILE (the video management of Van the Man), since in the previous version of the video there was a frame with the (copyrighted, it seems) face of Van Morrison. After cutting away that frame, the video was officially allowed, so we had the formal permission by Van Morrison's management! Something unusual for an amateur cover on YouTube!

Ciao e grazie!
