Thanks for the listens and the comments, the informative and the funny:)

Way back in like '85, I had a melody, a verse and a chorus, but it always seemed a bit too simple I suppose, and so I never did anything with it. I finally added another verse last spring and fired up BIAB for the first time in a long time. My wife isn't thrilled about some of the lyrics in that first verse, but in my defense, I hadn't even met her yet.

Steel drum RT's? I tried various kits and Reggae styles, but could never get the right groove. There was a Bossa Lewis RD kit that worked very well, but the swirl noise was too much and I couldn't get it out with EQ or gating. I didn't think to try RT's when looking for RD's. I'll remember that, Floyd. Thanks.
