I had sketched this out a few months back - thought I'd see how far I could take it in one day - this is as far as I got. I'll have to come back and give the BIAB tracks. I did the guitar and vocals , used a TC-HELICON Harmony GTX for the Levin Seven parts. Country Real Styles TRAINP.STY http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=13096061&q=hi LEVIN SEVEN I'm robot Levin Seven, manufactured up in heaven To find a missing angel down below I see in your eyes , those smiles that hypnotize Your the one I was sent here for LEVEN SEVEN - will always be your friend LEVEN SEVEN - will love you to the end Now I know in my core what arms and lips are for Ever since I interfaced with you LEVEN SEVEN - LEVEN SEVEN I'm reporting to H.Q. that I've made contact with you My prime directive finally has come true Our electrical connection is a heavenly confection Warming up my circuits through and through repeat chorus instrumental break repeat chorus and tag ending

Fun idea! The guitar tone, beat, and BG vocals gave it a bit of a retro, theme from "Rawhide" vibe, which was a really interesting juxtaposition with the futuristic concept. Enjoyed it! Take care. Greg

Greg I think I played bit of a rawhide riff in the lead-in. I was trying to get a Jerry Reed kind of guitar on it. If you remember he did all kinds of crazy songs. "Gitarzan" comes to mind. I had thought of doing it disco with synths - but liked straight country better. Well maybe Brad Paisley could record it - he likes off-beat songs.

Hi Pete, Yep, you made me smile too. I don't think I've ever heard a song based on an android/robot angel hunter. That's got to be unique! All the best, Noel

Thank you, Charlie,David,Dan,Janice& Bud,Noel,Tom,Rob and Gruverider, I am just overwhelmed with appreciation of your wonderful messages. And if Frankie Laine was still around maybe he could record it and it would 'really' sound like Rawhide. Some one at JPF suggested it could be the theme song for a sitcom which would make me happy and richer - even a cartoon sitcom would be fine. The one thing that no one has suggested, and maybe I shouldn't but I guess I will, is maybe he's not a robot at all and it's just a pick-up line. NO!, no forget I said that. ---Pete
