I thought I would close out the year with a song
David Cuny so graciously donated his time & effort
To rework & remix...

Thanks David...
You are truly a gentleman & a scholar smile

I hope you enjoy watching & listening.



Dreams of You © J Hughes

When I close my eyes
And drift off in the night
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

When I go to bed
With old mem'ries in my head
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Dreams of you
Help me through the night
When I'm lonely
And I'm feeling blue

When I close my eyes
With a heartache tonight
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Middle 4

Dreams of you
Help me through the night
When I'm lonely
And I'm feeling blue

When I close my eyes
With a heartache tonight
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Jim and David this is a great song and mix. Jim, your vocals were spot on and the lyrics are great. David's mix was perfect.

There's a lot to like about this song!

Jim & David,
A very smooth sound- that relaxed almost country crooner quality of Jim`s vocal is presented beautifully here.
I like the pure simplicity of the song and David has stayed true to the feeling in the mix.
Usually I can spot those Helicon harmonies but they blend well and maybe its the reverb gives the song that very smooth texture.
Good work- I Enjoyed!

I LOVE the sound of the BLOCKFISH compressor but I can't get it to run properly on my new computer.
This vocal is a perfect example of how well it can work.
Good song & performance Jim - clever mix David.

This came out very good! I liked original version, but David took this a Big step higher, not screwing up original vibe. Congrats to both of you and thank you for sharing!

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