Hello Vic, Floyd, Mario and Greg,

Thanks for your very nice comments on this funky song with the trumpets.
I looked at the trumpets in my mix, because of what Floyd and Greg wrote about them.
I gave them more high end on the eq and heard no more complains in the posts afterwards.
The problem with those trumpets was I normally don't like them and the 'high end' in my ears is a bit bad (tinitus).
But i learned from that, thanks!

Hi Vic, thanks for your comment. I did my best to make the sound more punchy and it looks it worked out well!

Great opening!
An excellent write.
Very cool production.
The guitar solo is nice.
The horns are well done. (I think they need to be EQ'd to be brighter)
Love the Ending, too.

Man! you are putting out some GOOD stuff!!!

Hi floyd, in my intro I said I listened to you about eq-ing the horns/trumpets.
Thanks for all your very nice words. they made me smile of course.
My son said he didn't like that 'stupid' afterburner in the song (the outro).
I thought if he says so I'm on a good track and left them in ;-)

Loved that intro and the arrangement.
Super vocal and guitar leads.
Nice touch with those trumpets.

Like Floyd said "Man! you are putting out some GOOD stuff!!!" and I totally agree!

Hello Mario, Like your 'Thoughts' I liked to do something funny, like the funky sound and the lyrics.
Well... the only serious thing in the lyrics is the addiction of mobile phones. I always see people staring at those things.
No interaction is possible when that thing is in their hands. But I bet no one will notice that in my lyrics...

Hi Greg, As I said in the intro I altered the trumpets so now they must have a brighter sound. Yust like you asked me to do.
Thanks for your compliments as well!

Have a nice day , all of you!
Hans
