Wishing all forum members a Happy New Music Making (or listening) New Year.

Here is my first recording of 2018. It's a heavy rock song that I actually wrote in February 1977 and performed in my band 'Aces High'. This new version is even heavier than the original.

For this song, I used the following instruments from three different styles.

CLROKHD.STY - 2533: Acoustic Guitar

BURBANK.STY - Drums
995: Bass guitar
999: Rhythm guitar
996: Rhythm guitar

TEXASRK.STY - 657: Rhythm guitar
660: Rhythm guitar

I added my own vocals and lead guitar.

Very cool retro feel Andy!! I hear some of the Jefferson Airplane in there. Cool little solo guitar groove you have going here. Vocals are good but maybe a little louder would be better. Cool music!! Take care. Greg
