Paddy - Thank you very much! Yes, " whimsical" is how I think of it too.

Rec - I`m happy you liked this.For some reason I found it easy to match the vocal rhythm to this time signature.

Peter -Thank you!

Scott -Many thanks for listening (& liking) again... I know you listened when I first posted, but it missed most listeners here.

Rob & Anne-Marie - Wow, thank you...and I was thinking it would be way too simple & folkie to please.

Colly - Great that you liked the song and especially the lyrics. Thanks for really listening and giving honest feedback.
This was one of the first songs I recorded -all done in BiaB with a bit of tweaking in RealBand which I had only the benefit of a few days on when this was mixed. My method is to do a very basic backtrack, then record vocals. I did redo the vocal effects before posting the link this time, but the change was minor.
I can hear some things I`m still unhappy with in there ( & haven`t even gone to the panning issue on this one yet).
Thanks for the offer of assistance; I`m a rookie at the whole production process... but not at all unhappy about learning as I go!
It might change if I get ambitious, but at this point my songs are like self-built houses-I want to walk around in them saying " I built that,I put that there"!
Base standard? There are lots of folks here who understand that stuff, but I`m not there yet...I`d certainly tune in if you post some good tutorial links on the recording/mixing forum.
