Mick;
That was a very nice arrangement. I picture myself sitting in a classy club, dining on steak and lobster, with candle lite while this plays in the background. Great mix.

Great job Mick. I really like the backing and the mix, perfectly done. You've got some chops there my-man.
This sounds really good.

Four Aces Mick! Great feeling and phrasing as per the usual Mick Emery efforts, very enjoyable. Now don't wait so long inbetween songs my friend, the crowd hates that.  Later,

Excellent Mick......I added it to my collection. This is the kind of jazzy tune I really like.

Mick, Just awesome. Okay, now you need to tell us how you did it. Is that a backing track, Real Tracks, or what? It doesn't sound like a synth. The whole song is just fantastic. I agree with Luvs, you need to put out a whole album like that. Actually Mick, I just took a look at your site, which I never have before, and I kind of went 'Doh!' No wonder.  Gary

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to listen. I'm tickled that everyone enjoyed it. I'm not playing out as often as I want to. That's my real love. Recording & posting is the next best thing tho'. (also exposes the flaws, which I need to be aware of) Still...I leave them in. (just like playing live!) Gary...it's RealTracks. My first & only use so far. Quote:

I don't understand that one!!
Thanks again,
Mick

Mick,
I was impressed by your musical history, and I realized I was standing in the shadow of a musical giant. The 'Doh!' is from the animated television series The Simpsons, and usually refers to the sound Homer Simpson makes when he realizes how stupid he's been.
If that's your first use of Real Tracks, you'd better start using it a lot more! That really was pro, all the way.

Gary...
If you're standing in a shadow...there's a tree nearby!
I am not, nor have I ever been a "musical giant". I'm humbled that you saw it that way.
I was fortunate to cross many paths in my youth.
Spend 15 years on the road...you meet some folks.
Mick

Mick, it’s all been said.
This is MY kind of music.
Work on that CD, OK.
Just a thought, maybe you and Gary should team up on a couple.
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Mick,
I've always seen it this way. To be asked to play with the number of people you've played with over the years indicates to me that you have a great talent. Giants don't have to have well known names, but they do have to have well known reputations, and a respect from within the community. As indicated by your past gigs, I would have to say you have both.
Gary
