Nicely arranged instrumental! Good choice of tracks too, love the organ especially and the guitar that comes in around 3:50.

Enjoyed!

I like how you started with bass an percussion and then brought in all those instruments in at different sections to make a cohesive piece. Jolly good!

Thanks for the response, Dave. Finding that new organ and the 1st guitar solos which replaced the original too long organ solo was Godsend. Dave Cleveland, the final guitar soloist, has a really unique and impressive style. On the various tracks I've used his samples in his solos have to be the final as they have so much impact.

Chay, a great song
Loved that B3 and horns
Great leads
As always your mix is spot on


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Hi
This is quite an alchemy of sonic pseudoscience that you weave Chay. Full of interesting twists and turns with quality production.
Nothing better than a nice cuppa Cha whilst listening to Chay smile

Thanks, Izzy! You lost me on the 'pseudoscience' ad lib. Though Agent Knightly, Daley Knightly, thinks it may be code. Re the cha I'm virtually a coffee-totaller.

PS: Just in case 'pseudoscience' is a code word, Agent Knightly's response is:
Is the Count eating kippers with your fairy goddesses-daughter tonight?

No. This scenario can not happen as long as said fairy goddesses-daughter suspects that the Count has substituted the smoked herring with a red herring!
Please inform Agent Knightly.

Textured and layered to the max. Wow!

The number of solo tracks is quite remarkable and must have taken considerable planning.

Epic, cinematic and fun!

Thanks J&B! I don't count the horns as a solo track, but as a build-up rhythm section extra, so not counting those there are only 3 solos. In the original version there were only 2, a different organ and the Dave Cleveland guitar at the end. The Scroll Funky Blues Organ and the Ten Step Bluesy Ctry Boogie Solo were new finds and replaced the former twice-as-long organ solo and they made a massive difference to the dynamics.
