Mario,
Fun lyrics, cool guitar playing. Drums are a bit hidden, but overall great overall effort.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

P.S. This is not as weird as your Santa tune last year smile

Outstanding lyrics, and a fun vocal to present them. Man, I love that line: "She got the elevator and he got the shaft." Good one, Mario. I'll be back for more next year.

Thanx Marty. I also will be back next year.

Thanx Misha. It appears as though I can only come up with comic lyrics as all other lyrics I try suck!

Hi, Mario.

Ha! laugh

Love the guitars! I thought they were from BiaB until I checked the notes. The drum seems overprocessed and distant to my ears, but I'm no expert,

Nice to hear your voice.

I enjoyed the song - congratulations for getting another in under the wire! smile

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

Thanx David for this very kind review, especially that guitar comment. Yes I think I did over process the drums.

HI Mario,

I always enjoy it when you do a vocal - should do it more! Maybe just a tad more higher EQ (not much) and a bit more reverb. Guitar work sounding great! A fun lyric and a nice listern!

Happy New Year!

Man, that was full of funny lines. You definitely should write more lyrics and sing them. Nice guitar work and a great way to finish off the year, Tom

Super cool tune, Mario! +1 for more future vocals and lead guitar, both were really, REALLY fine. Agree with prior comments on vocal and drum processing tweaks. Oh, and like the splash ending, too! Just a lot of fun all the way through...

Thanx so much Tom. My lyrics, singing, and mixing of them are one of my weakest points so I am reluctant to showcase them. But maybe I will try harder next year.

Hey Mario...great to hear you sing and the lead ax is great! I'm not rich so I can't identify with the song but I enjoyed the song!

Thanx so much Dan. I'm not rich either so I can't relate either. I mean rich monetarily, however I am very rich and blessed in other areas!

We can hear the smile in your vocals!
There are so many clever lines but the last really takes the cake, Mario. 😊

Mario, I haven't heard you sing since that math song you did a while back - and they're my favorites of yours. This is great. I had a smile on my face all the way through. Great idea and loved those lines you came up with! Great guitar work too. Man this one was fun!

Mario,

Hmmm, not sure why you feel out of your comfort zone . . . it’s a good blue tunes with a sweet solo and a compelling vocal. Really like that organ . . . or at least that what it sounds like thought I don’t see it listed. Would love to hear more of this type of stuff from you.

Thanx so much Brad. Singing is out of my comfort zone as I am more of an instrumentalist guy. Also mixing a vocal is one of my weak points. However I plan on trying to sing more this year.
