There does seem to be a build up of "mid mud" in the mix taht could be cleared to make things ring through cleaner. Cool song and nice BBoys feel as well. Personally I'd be inclined to stop short before the vocal vibrato - but that's a matter of personal taste. There're a couple of grammatical/syntax errors in the lyrics that you might consider addressing since they are printed.
Very nice job all together.


Cheers

COOL!!! Makes me want to go to the beach! Are you sure you're not Brian Wilson working under a pseudonym? Very cool Dani! Take care. Greg

Hi, HTL !

Well, you are right of course !

This could be done in a multitude
of ways with the given background
but as I am only one guy I have
limitations mostly with the middle
register (as I am a natural bass) !
I know that you like jingles and
there are some small similarities to them
in the arrangement though I am only
improvising (not singing any prewritten
voices) ! Knowing your taste I am really
glad that you found it pleasant to listen to !

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

Excellent work! It brought me back to the good '60s when I was crazy about the hit songs highly ranked by Billboard or Cashbox mostly coming through the radio.

Hi, Tommy !:))

Yeah, maybe we are related
me and the Wilson brothers ?
Seriously, my friend, I can´t
mention myself together with
those super guys that made
history with their music !
They´re living legends all
of them !:))

Nonetheless I do feel
flattered by your more than
kind words and I think you
know that too !

Take Care Tommy !
