Kevin,

Thanks for listening. I have adjusted the ess' on the two worst offenders, namely "emptiness" and "sadness" by just adjusting the clip. I'll do more with a dess-er when I have more time. The pedal steel thing (harmonics?) at 1:32 is one of the variations from "Pedal Steel, Background Ev 085. What I do is let the part play through several verses and if I don't get what I want I have it regenerate until I get something I like.

Gene,

Thanks for listening. The 2nd song intro is an oboe or actually an oboe voice on a synth. On the 2nd and 3rd songs I played or programmed all the parts physically playing all the guitars, bass and keyboard parts. It just takes too long to do it that way

Mac,

Thanks for listening. Wow, over 25,000 posts, that is incredible. As I mentioned above I addressed the two worst "ess" offenders and reposted the song. I will do a little more "surgery" when I get some time.

thanks again,

Tom
