Thanks, Dan. By my "solos" I assume you mean singing without Janice. Yeah, I tend to agree with you because I see below where Dave also mentioned it should be louder. Janice is way too good for me to properly mix my voice. It's like trying to mix Celine with Dylan or something. I'm just thrilled she agreed to dress this one up in its best attire. Thanks so much for the feedback.

Great lyrics, vocals, and mix.
Very clever song.

PS - I know a few families that experienced that!

Thank, Mario. Much appreciated.

Very amusing with the two sides of the story and mandolin on speed.

Thanks, Vic. Those mandolins rushed him right out of the relationship.

For my tastes the vocals, especially yours Marty, should be a bit higher in the mix. But no one else mentioned that, so I'm probably wrong eek

Loved it at the end when the two of you are singing together, nicely done!


Thanks, Dave! Nah, you ain't wrong. Dan also mentioned it. Besides, I know my mixing would be down right crap if not for your guidance. You new one (Train, Train) is mixed so well with yours and Chris's vocals. Yeah, I always wanted to do a counterpoint melody from the first time I heard Bing do it so well.


Enjoy whatever happens!
