HI David ...
I didn't hear the original but I really enjoyed the remixed version - a lot! I'm probably not the right person to make a lot technical comments as my mixing is about as Neanderthal as wooly mammoths! I just want to hear a song that makes me smile, cry, laugh or just kick back and say "Yeah!". And this one does it for me.
Di and I are big fans of the 70s sound, particularly large pop-rock bands - BST, Chicago, etc. Also, the pop-soul music of that time plays nicely in our ears.
You hit every button that makes our ears smile! IT's a big production and difficult to pull off. I think you and your son did a marvelous job. Tip of the hat to both of you.
As I said, I don't worry about the technical stuff as much as other folks usually do. I just want to hear some good music. And I just did. Thanks!
Alan
