Lead sounds good.


Every now and then I get a good idea. Thanks for listening. I'll be tweeking the guitar and the new amp as I go along. Still searching for that elusive tone that translates well to the digital medium.

All my best,

Thanks for listening. this has been a busy week and who knows, I might get back to this and fine tune it a bit....

Personally, I often get a lot of crap for still having a flip phone. And to be honest, I'm about ready to chuck it and go back to just having a land line. I somehow survived close to 35 years without a cell phone. I think I'll be okay, Ha!

Cool tune, thanks for posting. I enjoyed the listen!


Very cool... I have done my job. Sometimes I think I'd be better off with a flip phone.... I certainly would not waste as much time if I was on the flip....

Oh, and yes, excellent guitar sound.

Loved it.

Man I appreciate the words. THis was one of those songs that just kinda happened. I heard the title in something that someone said and sat down to work on it and it kinda just fell out of the sky. I like it when that happens. Such a cool experience.

Thanks.

Seriously - this song is on fire. I'm in agreement with the other folks who commented. I'm no producer but I do have a knack for hearing the hits that may be somewhat hidden behind the production, and this is definitely one of those. As you said, a lot of this is "one and done" but that hook in the chorus you have in there is undeniable. The lyrics are just a blast, and had me laughing while I was rocking out to the tune.

I could totally hear this being performed as a duet by a couple country western heavies like Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, and I can pretty much guarantee you that if they cut a track using your song, it would be on the Country Hot 100 (or whatever they call it these days).

Loved this - so much fun and undeniably catchy!

I really enjoyed this Herb. It's got a great 'live' sound that we often lose in over-producing.
Loved the song - the lyrics made me smile - and the guitars and your playing sound great.
Cheers,
Mike

Oh, how I remember the days of flip phones. I miss my LG Rumor 2 and my even older Nokia sometimes, not going to lie. I had the Rumor 2 for a good six years or more until it gave up the ghost. I'm a pretty tactile person and I miss the feeling of keys under my fingers, but I do like the display on touch screens. I don't like the direction they're going with the beveled edges and glass that curves around the corners on the newer Samsung models and how it feels like phones don't last nearly as long anymore. I have never cracked a single phone until this new one because of the wrap-around edges for the screen on my phone. It does make me miss the days of flip phones quite a bit, but what can you do?

I love the song. Really fun to listen to and I bet just as fun to have made. Thanks for sharing.

A nice happy song Herb, God knows we need something to cheer us up these days.

Very good guitar and piano work and vocals are nice too.
Its topical too, can see this getting a radio play.

Enjoyed the listen

Hello Guitarhacker,

What a fun idea! You heard the words flip phone and there you got yourself a lovely old-fashioned rocker!
And you also got Ember telling how sad she became when the flip phone era ended and she had to deal with edgy Samsung glass phones (an idea for a new rocker?).

It was very enjoyable listening to. I agree with Floyd you have to adjust some (volume) buttons, but easy on that. The rocking sound must stay! Good vocals too!

Herb,
Excellent title / theme! Ace groove! I like the "dirty" unpolished sound of this tune.
Fun lyrics and performance. Thank you for sharing.

As soon as I saw the title, I knew that this would be a fun song and there would be a clever set of lyrics. Live it. Good clean fun! I could go back to a flip phone. Heck, I could go back to a rotary dial phone.

Right up my alley Herb!! If I ever get a cell phone, it will be a flip phone! It seems to me that the smarter phones get, the dumber people get. Frequently I'm the only one in the room who isn't locked down into the virtual world......won't go down without a fight! LOVE THIS!! Take care. Greg

I do like to try to get a live sound. I just try to have fun with what I do. Thanks for noticing that aspect.

My flip phone was a Motorola 710. Bluetooth ready and very cool at the time. I felt like Capt Kirk every time I flipped it open.... Beam me up Scotty... Like all good things.... it had to end as well. I used to hate trying to text with those old phones.

So far.... i have never lost one, dropped it into water, or cracked the screen..... my daughters have done all 3 and some, several times. Now they are adults and can break their phones as often as they wish.

Thanks for listening and commenting and that walk down memory lane.

Yeah... I forget who I heard say that.... but that's how you get new song ideas.... Just keep your ears open and be tuned into the world around you. You never know when that next good idea is going to come. Oh yeah.... and then you gotta remember it later when you sit down to write. More than once I sat down and thought.... I know that was a great hook but what the heck was it now?????? But not this time.

Thanks
