I think your overall sound is getting fuller it seems to improve a little more with each production. Looks like Danny made some nice mailbox money. Those are some good tunes in his catalogue. I always look forward to hearing your latest post. You never disappoint. Great job! Tom

Tom - Glad you noticed the drums - I knew you would... don't often need that particular pattern, but when you do, you have to build it.. The cello and viola do "play nice together" and I would think that for most things, not much more is needed - the quartet strings violins are a little too busy for this type background work.. The acoustics always seem pretty easy to me - don't really do much to them - just the panning - occasionally a bit of eq on one side..
"mailbox money" - I like that! - yeah, Danny made his share - once when we were writing, his daughter Aimee dropped by for a few minutes - and he suggested to Aimee and I that we needed to get together and write some. Not following up on that one was a BIG mistake - Aimee went on to be huge... oh, well... one more "miss"..
Thanks for the listen...
