Retirement....I like the sound of it.
I'm just glad I lived long enough to enjoy a stretch on retirement years.

Again....one of the (4) tunes the BIAB saved from the incomplete folder.
I wrote it one week after I retired which was 12/26/10

Sheesh....can't tell you how quick the last two years have gone.
Oh...wait...it's been over six years!

Wouldn't mind how other systems are hearing the mix.
All comments are accepted.
Thanks to any that give a listen...it is appreciated.

GOOD STUFF!! That's a lot of fun. I'm glad I inspired you to post it. I'm only listening on and IMAC but the mix sounds great from here. Very fun, clever, and well done all around!! I got probably 2 more years, so I can't wait to be counting from instead of to retirement. Enjoyed much!! Take care. Greg

Cool tune Wayne. Well done. My retirement keeps getting pushed out. The wife keeps buying me guitars. ;-)

Ha....Kenny, I know.
I can't stay awake very late either.
Lyrically, it just felt good to state it anyway. smile

EDIT: no, that's not me on the lead axe track....it's BIAB.
I did play the rhythm axe part on my Tele.

A good rockin' blues number, Wayne.

The BAND mix sounds good. There a couple of spots where the vocal could come up a dB or so (the guitar licks - which are quite nice - take attention away from the vocal in those spots).

A fun listen.

Mornin' Floyd...

I may revisit these BIAB finished songs and that would not be hard to address.
I thank you for taking the time to listen, scrutinize and kind comments.

Thanks to everyone.

(Sheesh....I see a lot of fires have been raising hell in your turf. Hope all is well with you and your orbit.)

A good day to all....

I'm 18 years in and trust me...it will fly by exponentially quicker the deeper you get into it.

We enjoyed the write, the vocal/guitar performances and the mix sounds fine via our KRK's.

Like Tom said, "a fun bouncy rocker!"

Howdy J&B...

I hear you....I'm 1/2 way through my seventh year which is merely the flutter of an eyelid in 'retirement time'.

I enjoyed fleshing this one out and lyrics came to me pretty quickly.
I guess I was really ready to be 'out of the trenches and give up the grind'.

Thank you very much for giving a listen and the kind comments.
(I have the KRK Rockit 8's...about 3 years....I love 'em)

Much appreciated....
