Dan, THANKS! Dusty is a not-so-secret weapon for sure. I'll listen to most songs acapella at some point just to fully appreciate all the little things he's doing. Glad you liked it!

Ray, really appreciate the listen and your discerning comments. I often reach for riskier phrasing and/or cadences, just because that's where the fun is for me. I do recognize that there is risk in that. But in the best case, there is also reward. Maybe next time!

A great production and this really shows what BiaB can do.
Job well done. I particularly liked the bridge.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Thanks, Steve! I'll post a song with more of my playing one day, and you'll see why I use so much BiaB. Ha!

This is most noticeable to me (now) in the opening section.
Yes, later on it's okay. Or maybe the ears will have adapted by then.

Hi, Ron.

I enjoy your pop songs, and this was no different.

Fun listen! smile

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

Hi Ron,

I think you three rule the pop genre on this forum, your songs are always top notch.

Really well done, enjoyed!

Yeah, funny how the ears can do that.

Why, thank you, Dave! Of course I'm not buying into it, given the level of musicianship is so high on this forum. But a nice thing to hear just the same. smile

There’s no need to overly parse out this production. It is ALL good.
The vocals and the band session guys are great as is the arrangement.
Great use of BiaB tracks wrapped in an open/airy mix with plenty of dynamics.
The lyric imagery is very cool and the melody is bouncy and fun.

We much enjoyed it!

J&B

PS We found your comments to Bob regarding post mix activity interesting as we are the same way. We master with a reference song and listen to the results on several sound systems. BTW Bud has a severe high f loss also and has a custom “mixing program” for his hearing aids. smile


Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.
If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks!

Janice and Bud, ya'll are too kind, BUT...so glad you enjoyed it! Interesting about Bud's mixing program, had no idea anything like that existed. Had forgotten ya'll were in Georgia. My whole family lives (or is buried) there. I'm the only one who left and never came back. Our son loves visiting though. He can't believe there's a place where people are so sincere and friendly. (Those are uncommon characteristics around here, sadly.) THANKS for the listen!!

You have a way with the '60's sound DC.
Some unusual lines in there but that's ok.

Thanks, Jani! "Catchy" is what we're going for, so happy you were "caught".

THANK YOU, Vic! I do love that for our lyricist, the rain in Spain doesn't fall mainly in the plains, if you know what I mean. Besides, if it weren't for my fondness of these sometimes offbeat lyrics, we wouldn't have any songs at all.

Glad you liked it, Brad! I really keep the mixes simple, with the vocals, bass and kick in the middle and everything else somewhere else. I'll pan guitars hard left and right if it's not a distraction.

Why, THANK YOU, Ronnie! Glad you liked it, seeing how you can still hear it. Hate it when a song I DON'T like gets stuck in my head. Ha!
