I love that little melodic part you are playing on your Parker, nice little hook that makes the song for me.
Thanks for saying so, Dave. You can see why I didn't bug you for this one. hehe

Thanks, Dan. Funky guitars and steel drums. Reggae is an amalgamation.

We can almost see the sparkling waters.

Those steel drums are so cool! Great BiaB session folks all around.

Your vocal and bass performances are smooooooth as is the fine mix.
Man, how you can make that many tracks work and still not sound dense is amazing.

And we love the happy ending!

Enjoyed the trip!

Thanks, Janice & Bud. Fortunately all those instruments weren't playing at the same time. When changing the style in the middle of a song, BiaB doesn't list the intruders separately. The stems needed to be separted and placed on different tracks with different effects and stuff. But once that was done it was much like mixing two songs. As for lasting happiness, I'm afraid that wasn't the ending. It was when it was written. But through the comments here, I think there is a boy-looses-girl sequel.

You may have used a bunch of BiaB tracks, but it in no way sounds cluttered or too crowded. Most likely because of 3M: The Marty Method of Mixing smile
As always, nice work on the fat strings.
Well done.
Busy is good, Steve. Thanks for the listen and comment. As I mentioned above to Janice & Bud, mixing all that was easier in reality than it appears on paper.
