Loved this tune Rog. Super vocal and backtrack. Got a kick out of the video. Well done... Super tone on the guitar Hi Scott. Glad you approved. The guitar on this one was all done with my old Telcaster - probably my favourite guitar. Many thanks for the listen and review. Cheers, ROG.

ROG, This is a great track. Lot's going on here. The vocals are exceptionally good. I loved the melodic guitar solo. Extremely well arranged and mixed. A super listen! Tom I agree with Tom!! Really cool production. I love your phased sound on the vocal-like ELO back in the day. A treat for the ears and the eyes! Great job!! Take care. Greg Many thanks, Greg. Always pleased to get a review from you. A lot of the vocals are treated with my old 80s Syntovox vocoder, yes in the style of ELO who I really admire. Pleased you enjoyed it. Cheers, ROG.

ROG,
that was awesome! Somehow I missed the fact that you were using Muvizu! Great use of that software! (How did you make the cascading dollar signs? I take it that was one of the other programs you used?)
I'm guessing that you played guitar? I really liked the guitar decorations, whether you played them or crafted them from real tracks
The line "nothing's gonna happen here..." sounds very instrumental, like maybe you used a vocoder? Cool sound, however you achieved it.
I like the lyrics and the arrangement. You have a knack for makin' catchy tunes. Thanks for all you do to add value here! I appreciate your contributions!

The vocal and guitar performances were most excellent. You are really outstanding at layering sounds without a hint of clutter. Or as Janice just said, " there's a lot going there but it never sounds busy!" Yep.
We cranked it up and as expected it all held together perfectly and sounded great.
And the video...the details were so cool like the wrist watch on the artist and the way his chops worked with the song. But it will take a few more views to begin to catch it all.
Oh..not to forget the clever write!
Lotta fun here and a lotta talent in the production.
J&B
Hi J&B Once again, it's good to get a review from people who's work I respect so much. There's a lot of work getting the video to sync with the track, so I'm really pleased that you noticed that - makes it all worthwhile. I had a lot of fun putting this together, so I'm pleased that you got some fun out of it. Cheers, ROG.

I like the lyrics and the arrangement. You have a knack for makin' catchy tunes. Thanks for all you do to add value here! I appreciate your contributions! Hi Pat my old friend! Good to see a review from you, particularly in view of the animation. I've had Muvizu for a while now and I have to say it was your own superb animations with it which prompted me to buy it. There's a lot to learn yet, before I can compete with you, but I'm having a lot of fun on the way. The cascade was done outside of muvizu, as you guessed and involved a lot of swapping between platforms. And yes again, it was my old Syntovox vocoder on the "nothing's gonna happen here" line. Well spotted. The guitar ornamentation was played by me - I couldn't get the RTs to do exactly what I had in mind, so I had to resort to the old methods! So, many thanks for looking in on this one. Regards, Roger.

ROG,
Outstanding entertainment!!!!
Your production is amazing, your singing and playing sizzles and your video is the crowning glory! It's hard to believe that so much talent can be packed into 3 minutes 18 seconds. I was completely engrossed with the song and its presentation from start to finish. Really fine work!
All the best,
Noel
