As others have said, cool and funky! thanx David Mr. MIDI strikes again with a funka-lishus offering! Wish I could do this, but it takes more skill than you admit to. I've tried, so I know that for a fact. Me and MIDI just don't hit it off. But you da King. I have to admit I look forward to your joke taglines as much as I do your songs. I'm sure they brighten everyone's day. Thanx so much for those very nice comments. I'm just a MIDI hacker trying to get everything sounding decent. Cool, poppin' sound Mario! I really liked the way that clavinet and bass worked together. Nice guitar work too! 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  The flute works very well, especially with the horns. I enjoyed also the guitar parts. Nice sharp ending. Janne

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. Really swinging Mario!
A great listen.
Happy New Year!
Thanx David.

Mike B. Thanx Mike. It was not as difficult as it sounds, just sound on sound recording with different instruments and notes. You’re master of that keyboard thing. Always interesting.
Vic Thanx Vic. Actually I am a real keyboard hacker! I am kicking myself in the butt for quitting piano lessons many years ago!
