Thanx so much for those very nice comments. I'm just a MIDI hacker trying to get everything sounding decent.

Thanx Brad. I can't take credit for the clavinet and bass tracks. They are straight from BiaB. All I did was to select the sounds. BiaB MIDI has a lot to offer!

It's New Year's Eve and I'm listening to "New Year Funk"! It's a cool sound and I love the way you got all the parts to work together. That must have taken some careful work. Excellent tune.

Thanks Mario, it is always refreshing to start a new year with a funky groove smile The flute works very well, especially with the horns. I enjoyed also the guitar parts. Nice sharp ending.

Thanx so much. Not so much careful work but knowing what notes I wanted the rhythm section to play then actually playing them along with the song made it easy.

Thanx Mike. It was not as difficult as it sounds, just sound on sound recording with different instruments and notes.

Thanx Vic. Actually I am a real keyboard hacker! I am kicking myself in the butt for quitting piano lessons many years ago!
