Just something I did a few years ago but never posted until now. I've not had much time for new material lately, so I pulled this one up. I couldn't think of a name and this randomly popped into my mind - sounded as good as anything else! Its nothing special - just a song with a silly name. In The Corner Of A Round RoomI'll post the RTs, etc., as soon as I get my primary laptop back from the shop. I don't have BIAB on this one. Thanks, Alan

Alan, a silly name but a great song.
Super mix
Are you playing the lead?
Sounds great

Alan,
Great song as always. Love that guitar tone! It has such a "live" feel.
Awesome mix. Big & punchy. You have some of the best mixes.
Glad you revisited this one.

Alan,
Cool tune! Tastefully unique changes. Also some nice longer guitar lines that we don't hear much from BiaB. You've done your usual super job with the band selection and mix: It all sounds GREAT. Nice save! FWIW, I like the title a lot, but then again I enjoy cognitive dissonance, too. Ha!

Great title. I love absurdity. The song deserves some clever lyrics.

Nice mix and love the guitar sound, Alan.
I agree that it cries out for lyrics.

I really like the harmonic variations and the ensemble that sits on top with a beautiful electric guitar.

Hi, Alan. The instrumentation is a bit different than what I've heard from you, but still a solid and fun listen.

Sounds great Hi Mario. No, I'm not playing guitar on this. It's a BIAB RT. But, if you're interesred I might be able to find one where I am playing guitar and post it. I have quIte a few with me playing guitar, but I didn't use BIAB to create the backing tracks. Due to a disease called focal dystonia, I don't often play on my newer creations. Glad you liked it! Alan

Bob Hi Bob. I did quite a bit og EQ-ing to get the sound I wanted on the guitar - also some additional distortion. Thanks for the very nice comments - I appreciate them very much. Take care, Alan

I remember once when I was a young kid (maybe 8 or 9 years old back in the early 50s) my grandfather asked me to do something, but I got distracted by cartoons on the TV. He told me I was about as useful as a corner in a round room. I guess that crossed my mind as I was trying to come up with a title for this. I'n delighhted to read it all works for you. Thanks! Alan

Ain't no dunces or time-outs in a round room --no double negatives either. Sorry.
Excellent Blues with a dirge feel. Thanks for posting, Alan. It always amazes me how good you are at writing these gems in various genres, and then do such a terrific mix. Very pleasing indeed.

But, I'm open to others who's like to offer a lyric. Glad youy enjoyed it. Alan PS: Hope your frieds and loved ones in N.C are safe.

Vic Hi Vic, I always look forward to your comments and observations. I didn't do much to the guitar RT - it's pretty much as BIAB offered it. I've not written many lyrics lately - maybe in the future. Thanks again, Alan

Powerful, dark song. Well done! Hi James, Thaks for the listen and uplifting comments. And yes, a wee bit dark. It didn't start that way, but that's how it ended up. Thanks again. Alan

Hi, Alan. The instrumentation is a bit different than what I've heard from you, but still a solid and fun listen. HI David, Yes, a bit different. As I told James, it didn't start out as such. But when that opening slavo of guitar hit my ears, I had to run with it. "Solid" and "Fun" - I can easily live with that. Thanks. Alan

fj Floyd, Thanks a bunch! In order to get the best out of those guys, they first have to be that good. And the great majority of BIAB RTs are exceptional. So, I give those guys a lot of credit, too. I just have to find which guys to use and slightly massage their contributions. I sincerely appreciate your always kind and supportive comments. Alan Di and I hope Milton is little more than a minor issue fot you and yours. We'll keep you folks in our thoughts and prayers.
