OK... so I'm digging way back.... 5 years on this. I don't know that I've ever posted this here.

This is when I was relatively new to BB and was really digging the horns and saxes and just having a grand time exploring what this program could do.

STROLLING

I found this and a few other gems in some old dusty folders in the storage drive as I was house cleaning the other day.

Have a listen and enjoy it...

Don't ask what the details are because I don't recall. I'm playing the lead theme that reoccurs through out the song. The RT's played some amazing harmony licks to it in a few places.

The Trumpet and Sax especially blew me away.... what a solo!!!!

Very smooth and makes me feel as if I were strolling down the sidewalk. I like the placement of the sax and trumpet...well thought out. Good guitar playing I might add also. Pleasant to listen to and just an all round great composition.

Sounds like you were having fun.
A bit of a Burt Bacharach sound to my ear. Cheers.

Rob: Thanks... I was thinking the same thing


Rich: I was having fun.... I was exploring the possibilities with BB....


Greg: This is from the early days with BB.... so essentially I started with quite a few jazz based tunes similar to this.....I even have a number of tunes with vibes in them. Here's one that's actually on my website music page..... http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=8255563 Go enjoy and Get Happy with the vibes...


Peter: Thanks Peter, I enjoyed playing that "theme" throughout the tune. Every now and then, I just gotta let the insanity peek out for a while.

Smooth jazz arrangement and mix. We discovered BiaB 4 years ago and our first effort was a horn jazz version of Soulshine (Allman Bros/Gov't Mule). There's something about being able to have those great horn at your bidding!

Love what you've made of this BBox original (hope I'm not bursting a bubble here), the sax was an especially inspired touch.

I really like your guitar work here. Understated and lyrical. A perfect fit to my ears for this song.
