We only get a limited number of minutes on the planet, so I appreciate your willingness to spend a few of yours listening to and commenting on my song, Leon! You are another forum member who is new to me so I'll need to look back through the months of songs I've missed to hear more of your work... but what I've heard so far has been very much to my liking!

Man.... I was duely impressed. I got a Pat Travers riff rock vibe from that.

Nicely done. You just raised the bar for everyone including yourself. Loved everything about this from the driving riff undergirding the entire song, to the very tasty solo, to the vox.

Loved it.

Hey Herb, thanks for responding, and for saying such nice things. I think you already know that I hold you in very high regard, not only as a musician and recording engineer, but also as a human being. In my opinion you are one of the smartest people I know. In fact that trait is fairly common among the people I've met in this forum. Yeah, I know posting a video is almost a violation of forum expectations. Most people link directly to sound cloud. But as a showcase of how people are actually USING BIAB, what I posted is what I do with it. Thanks again for your review, and I hope that as a fellow NC resident, our paths cross again in the future.

That was a really good blues song and a nice production. It was interesting to read about how you did it and I think the end result was quite good.

Top vocal performance too!

Thanks for sharing!
Will

thank you Will! I appreciate your willingness to listen and comment... listener responses provide the best feedback and this forum provides a gentle way to receive guidance in future endeavors! I like what I've heard from you so far and I look forward to hearing much more of your work!

Eddie, you are a man of few words, so I'm going to consider this review in terms of the number of exclamation points used. I am very happy to recieve a 3 exclamation point review from a man of your high standards! (Hopefully we're not using a 10 exclamation point scale. )

Out of curiosity, are you a lefty, or did you just flip the video? It took a while before I figured that something was "off" about the video.

I appreciate the cleverness that went into the lyrics, but honestly, when someone plays the blues as well as that, you could be singing nonsense and I'd barely notice.

A lot of work on the drums, but haven't you heard? Mono drums center panned are the new big thing. wink

OK, just being silly there.

But seriously: Wow. laugh

David, thanks for weighing in! Gotta love any review that contains the word "WOW" (although I'm fully aware that it can be used to make a negative statement. Ask any wife) In answer to your question, I am NOT left handed. The web cam is reversed because on streaming sites I frequently use green screen and put animations in the background. Unless I reverse my image, when interacting with the animations I always move my head in the wrong direction. So reversing the image allows me to respond as if I were looking into a mirror, which is intuitive. I was just too lazy to change it back for this video.

Shifting the topic back to you: I hope there are more horn songs in your pipeline. I can't adequately articulate how much I enjoyed your most recent song. Just golden!

thanks for listening and commenting. I agree wholeheartedly, but... I didn't get the recording engineer gene. I have tried. I have read articles and watched videos. Apparently me learning how to mix is like a dog learning how to solve algebra problems. Even a smart dog can't do it. I'm smart in some things but apparently mixing isn't on the list.

Back to you: I'm seriously enjoying your songs! Keep them coming!
