David, I noticed this too. The strings (and the vibraphone) are coming from my Korg keyboard and my fingers on that keyboard. You didn't mention the vibraphone, so to you is that "coming in from nowhere" too?

What if the strings were in from the beginning?

Is this an artifact of the volumes used in the mix or do you think it's more structural, or is it simply related to taste? I think this subject came up before and someone called it "a motif".

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
