Killer blues stuff. That lead guitar solo is just perfect. Nice lines in the write as well (love that “you gotta stand on my shoulders line”). Solid mix as well—nice touch on the ocean sound effect at the end. Cool stuff!

My best to you,

Deej


Thanks, Deej. Solos are the hardest part with BiaB. Sometimes they come out amazingly perfect, but usually I have to spend hours getting them ok.

Thanks, jpt3!!!

No one else will notice or care but it was there a bit and when it happens to me I feel it marks me for the old man I am.
It's not all the time either - just sometimes. I get the feeling you may have attenuated some of them already or used a de-esser but some escaped.
The Sea of Blues is green with envy.


Hey, old man! I was hoping you'd notice I cleaned up some of the sibilance using many methods I learned from you. There are sssso many Ss in the Sea Of Blues. Thanks for noticing. I think that would mean your ears are really really good like a young man's would be.

Take care,

Thanks you, Stefan. Wish my videos could be one one hundredth as good as yours. You are a master, sir. Take care!!

It's stuck on "5 on 50's" or something...
This morning a Sinatra tune "Learning the Blues" came on...
Put me in the mind of your song...
Definitely, the guitars sound right out of that era.
Your vocals sound just as cool...

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen!


Stuck in the 50s. haha Could be worse. Thanks, Bawb. Man, that's the first time anyone ever suggested a connection to me at the King of the Rat Pack. Stuck in the 50s could be a good song title.

Enjoy whatever happens!
