Attempting a remedy for a kid`s warty toe I had a musical idea for this patented cure-all.
Scott got out his very George guitars.
We hope you get healed!

This was another fun project with Robert.

For this I used my Gretch Duojet and my Vox Amp.
For the effects I used a Empress Nebulus pedal and a touch of reverb.

I like it - snake oil with a bit of King of the World (Steely Dan) vibe.

Great label graphic!

But will it make me play better guitar? wink

Fun listen, thanks for posting!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Was thinking more Sgt Peppers that Steely Dan, but glad you were entertained.
Won`t help your playing, but might make the guitar shine applied as wax!

Hi Robert,

What a creative idea usig a recipe (a set of instructions for preparing a particular dish, including a list of the ingredients required, acording to Google translator) for the lyrics!
Peter already wants a bottle!

Liked the song. Very funny. Immediately recognized the Gretch Duojet and Vox Amp of Scott (joke).
But nice your cooperation. worked out well!

Right from the get go I said "Beatles" (gotta love the Dr. Roberts reference) and Janice chimed in with "Dire Straits!" Yeah, that'll work for us anytime.

Warty toe = cool production. Warty toe...hmmm Frank Zappa?

We always enjoy y'alls collabs and this doesn't disappoint -- perhaps our fav.

As always the imagery is rich and cinematic in nature...begs for a video.

Good band, good collab, nice harmony, arrangement...all that stuff.

Enjoyed it!

Thanks Deryk. Thinking the subject sounded Beatlish the chords began with a "Come Together" progression if I remember correctly.

Hans,
I`m glad you mention Scott`s guitar/rig... he really has an ear for what tone/effects to use to make the accompaniment/solo guitar gel with a song... to my ears he nails the George Harrison thing on this.
Of course, its also good you found the song fun!

No more free samples- the lab needs work.

Surely that Naam Pik available at your place works to prepare those vitals for our mixture.
Thanks for the thumbs up.

Thanks everyone for the awesome comments. This song was so much fun from the start. I read the lyrics first and was just amazed how Robert interlaced visuals in the lyrics in the backtrack. Was fun trying get the effects to sound a little like Georges sitar. This was one of my favorite times of Beatles music. I still listen to the Sgt Peppers album in my playlist. So glad Robert invited me along on this Magical Mystery tour :-)

There's some imaginative, creative writing!! Reminds me of The Who Sell Out (you've probably never heard that record). Wonderful sounds/guitar here to match the unique lyric. One question: Where can I buy some?? Nice job guys!!! Take care. Greg
