You did a fabulous job with the harmonies and the arrangement.
SsssWonderful. Simply wonderful.

I wrote a tribute to BW a few years back. I recorded, initially, to tape and mixed in mono. I had to remix to stereo becasue a whole bundle of people got a little upset about the idea of me doing mono. WEIRD eh? The song referred to hearing in mono but taht went over their heads. Well, that was a different forum and a yonk ago.
Here's my BW track though - in stereo sadly...


Thanks Ray! Like your tribute! I did one using a similar idea to Pink Floyd. I think is sounds great, even though it is in stereo....lol.....Take care. Greg

The melody and lyrics are pure 60's magic.

THanks so much Janne! Really like Modulate! Take care. Greg

Was that ukelele playing those chords? Or banjo? Or high-strung guitar? Anyway, nice flavor.

Sweet, sweet summertime, summertime song.


Thanks Tango for your extremely kind words! Yes, that is a uke from one of the "world" RTs (I believe). Style is Lei I think. Take care. Greg

I was wondering about the Brian Wilson references. But not for long, because I got to the chorus.

Oh, man - sooooo sweet. smile
