Dave,
Infectious is a good description already used- its cool to hear another style of your playing that`s pure fun.
Wonderful interplay with the saxman!

Hi Dave,

Midnight Romp - Daytime Fun. That is just awesome. A leap back in time, but sounding as freshky as can be. Like your guitar abilities a LOT (said that before), and Andy sure knows how to blow that thing, too.

Toe-tapping, head-nodding, finger-snapping, ear-wiggling, butt-shaking stuff - LOVED IT SO MUCH !!!!

All the best,

Stefan

Hi Dave,

While listening to your song, I imagined me sitting in that old brown pub, almost empty, and me only with my beer...
And then this music starts playing. I shove my feet under the table, take a big sip and relaxed. But with a smile, that wasn't there before. Got the picture? That's what this song did to me.

So very nicely done. I enjoyed it, although Valentines Way is still unbeaten!

Yeah, I love that intro too. Wasn't expecting the vocal track, I thought he was just going to send me a sax track. I'll have to see if he is still around, been many years since I last talked to him.

Happy you enjoyed this!

THAT is cool stuff.

Juking groove. Nice, lovely clean tone. Very well put together and my only nit if there is one is that the drums, especially in the fill, need to be louder.

Love every thing about it.

Hi Bud and Janice,

I listened to lots of swing when I was young, my dad was a big fan. Some of it rubbed off on me I guess smile

I'm happy you liked this one!

Thanks for sharing that gem from the past!

Great synergy between sax and guitar riffs. Masterful grooves with an upbeat fervor that gives the tune a timeless feel.

Well, I'm sure we will do more Rock Ballads in the future. Next one up is a blues/rock tune though, just waiting for Chris to get back from her vacation.

Appreciate the listen and comments, Herb!

I think you are right about the drums. I bumped them up 2db and will revisit the mix again if I decide to do more with this song.

Great guitar, sounded like J Geils Bluestime (post J Geils band). Could listen to that all night.

Hi Dave,

This is an incredible listen! The music is lively, Andy's sax playing immediately captures the imagination, and your guitar work gleams! In addition, your production chops are superb. The clarity of each component of this mix is a real credit to you. The audio quality that I heard is the epitome of "first class production".

This song would be at home on any radio station or TV/film placement anywhere around the world.

You are certainly a master craftsman!

All the best,
Noel

Dave, you play a mean axe! Your chops were outstanding as was your guitar tone; that Blue Cat's Re-Guitar plugin was a great find wasn't it! That sax guitar interplay was spot on, but that happens when two excellent musicians get together. Your mix was perfect.

A number of people remarked about this sounding like a song in the late 40s and 50s but to me it sounded like a Brian Setzer song.

Midnight Romp, I think that you should stay but late more often!

You two should be very proud of this.
