Morning Folks,
Greg's guitar and image finally settled in, the master done and a hastily 30mins of selfie filming and here we have:



Thanks to those who offered suggestions and encouragement.


Cheers

Thanks Floyd,
Greg was going to do an additional part standing up but seeing the draft he decided enough was enough. I think he was right.

Got a slightly early preview of this gem because I'm Subscribed to you YT channel. This is a really good song, Ray. Love that bass and Grey was the perfect choice. Excellent mix as always. I really enjoyed the videos. Actually playing and singing is by far the better way to go. Well done!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hello Ray,

If I hear this song without any introduction I would immediatly know it must be a Ray song.
What a nice video with Greg playing the lead in the same flow as your singing.
And you were very present in this song. No hidden vocals or whatever, they were just there!
So, a very nice song from you and Greg.
But what a remarkably short time it took you to mix and master this song. 30 minutes??? Great!

I enjoyed it,
Hans

Your and Greg's happy smiles in the video go well with your happy song.
It's a kinda odd song but catchy as hell. I like it!

BTW, you wrote 'Grey Loyacano' in the video.

rayc,

It's fun rock.
The video is great.
Both the vocals and the accompaniment are exactly rock.
Verse's chord progression is unusual for you, it's fairly normal, smooth and easy to listen to.
However, when it comes to Chorus, your characteristics stand out.
The contrast is interesting.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

I THOUGHT Grey was an odd first name, and it's a zany last name. You can call him Rose and he'll sound as sweet.

Way to go! Surely the video got a smile from your wife, didn’t it?

Cool video and the looks on yours and Greg’s faces fit the message so well.
The ending with Greg was perfect too.

Both the song and the video made us happy!

P.S. Janice said that just listening to your bass gave her happy feet! smile

That's a dark side of happiness smile

Ray,
fun tune. Greg looks mighty serious. Sounds wide, yet mix is crisp. Good job of putting video together. Gave it 2 spins, sorry no suggestions, sounds great to my ears. Thank you for sharing.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
